We all know what breakpoints are, they tell the debugger that an application should break and pause execution, at a certain point. If we want to get certain information at this point, we need to copy it down to a paper or to the notepad. There are breakpoints which get hit hundred of times during the execution of a program, so it may be very exhausting to write down the breakpoint information each time it is hit. Well, last week, while I saw John Cunninghams session at PDC 2008 about Visual Studio Debugger Tips & Tricks, I learned something new. The Visual Studio debugger has another feature called tracepoints.
