Sometimes, while I’m watching my program run, I’ll want to set a breakpoint with conditions. At the moment, I’m doing this by clicking to create an unconditional breakpoint, then right-clicking to change the condition. This has the drawback that I’ll stop the program on an undesired iteration. Is there a way to set the condition immediately?

    I was going to suggest the macro route too. I got bored and had a go at it, if this macro runs it pops up a dialog and asks for the condition. You may need to make it a little fancier if you want more bells and whistles.

    Sub addBreakpointWithCondition()
    Dim cond As String = InputBox("Enter the condition")
    DTE.Debugger.Breakpoints.Add(File:=DTE.ActiveDocument.FullName,
        Line:=DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.CurrentLine, Condition:=cond)
End Sub
