Visual Studio - Debugging dialog

Question

Hi folks, i get this dialog while debugging code in visual studio 2008.

(your step-into request resulted in an automatic step-over)

Any Ideas?

TIA

Answer 1

Yeah, if I remember right it just means that the line you tried to "step into" wasn't availible (for example an exten assembly).

Answer 2

It means that the option 'Step over properties and operators' in Tools / Options / Debugging / General is active.

You get the dialog box when you press F11 to enter into the code of a property and this option is active.

Answer 3

The debugger is hiding (stepping over) the internal functionality of a class property (i.e. get/set). If you would like to step through the property's accessor functionality you must unched the box next to "Step over properties and operators" found in:

Tools->Options->Debugging->General
