Debugging multi threaded environment in .net

Question

I have an application that uses background workers. There are places that a background worker starts from a timer tick event. How can I prevent the code from jumping in debug to the timer tick?

Should I manage the timer in another thread??

Answer 1

Sorry but I dont get your question - what do you mean by "jumping in debug". Maybe conditional breakpoints could work for you?

Answer 2

If you are talking about running the application inside of Visual Studio, use the [DebuggerStepThrough] attribute to instruct the compiler to not step into that specific method.
