Hi everyone, I've stumbled onto a very interesting issue where a function (has to deal with the Windows clipboard) in my app only works properly when a breakpoint is hit inside the function. This got me wondering, what exactly does the debugger do (VS2008, C++) when it hits a breakpoint? ...

I'm working on an MVVM project, so I have folders in my project like Models, ViewModels, Windows, etc. Whenever I create a new class, Visual Studio automatically adds the folder name to the namespace designation instead of just keeping the project-level namespace.
