Enable, Disable, and Delete Breakpoints
To view and manage all the open breakpoints, you can use the Breakpoints window. Use the window to view breakpoint information and to take actions such as deleting, disabling, or enabling breakpoints.
The Breakpoints Window
The Breakpoints window lists information such as which line of code the breakpoint is located on. In the Breakpoints window, you can also delete, disable, and enable breakpoints. For more information about the Breakpoints window, see Breakpoints Window
Disabling a breakpoint prevents it from pausing execution, but leaves the definition in place in case you want to enable the breakpoint later. Deleting a breakpoint removes it permanently. You must toggle a new breakpoint to pause execution on the statement.
