I wish to set a breakpoint on the System.Threading.SynchronizationContext::SetSynchronizationContext static method so I can find out when the synchronization context is being set.
However I can’t find how to set a breakpoint in a method I don’t have the source code to.
(This should be easy!, but when I try to set the breakpoint on a method from the breakpoints window it does recognise the method.)
Click Debug, Windows, Breakpoints, click New, Break at function, enter
System.Threading.SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext, and click OK.It will give you a warning, which you should ignore. I tried it, and it does work.

Set the following settings:
