How can I use debugbreak() in C#?

Question

What is the syntax and which namespace/class needs to be imported? Give me sample code if possible. It would be of great help.

Answer 1

Put the following where you need it:

System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();

Answer 2

you can use System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() to break in a specific place.. this can help in situations like debugging a service.

Answer 3

#if DEBUG
  System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
#endif

Answer 4

I also like to check to see if the debugger is attached - if you call Debugger.Break when there is no debugger, it will prompt the user if they want to attach one. Depending on the behavior you want, you may want to call Debugger.Break() only if (or if not) one is already attached

using System.Diagnostics;

//.... in the method:

if( Debugger.IsAttached) //or if(!Debugger.IsAttached)
{
  Debugger.Break();
}
