VS2008 Debugging Enhancements

Another goodie to come out of Tech.Ed was finding out about some new debugging enhancements in VS2008.

When you set a breakpoint and it's hit at runtime, you can right-click on the yellow line and get two new options:

  1. Step Into Specific - allows you to choose which method to step into. Very handy for when a method call has a method as one of it's paramaters.
  2. Step over properties and operators toggle - most of the time property gets and sets and simple returns and assignments. 
Both of these really improve the debugging experience in my opinion.
 
Now if only I could create code that didn't need debugging! :)
