Question

You know how you can click the yellow arrow on a breakpoint and drag it down to skip execution of lines of code? Well, is it possible to create a “When Hit” macro (or something similar) that skips execution of the line containing the breakpoint?

So instead of writing code like

if(!Debugging)
   Response.Redirect("LoginFail.aspx");

I could sit a breakpoint on the Response.Redirect() line and “When Hit” will skip it.

I don’t know of baked in way of doing this. You can however set the “When hit” options of a breakpoint to run a macro. It shouldn’t be hard to write a macro that gets the current line, and then sets the next debugger line. You’ll probably want to look at the Debugger.SetNextStatement method.

A macro like this should do it:

Public Sub SkipNextLine()
    ActiveDocument().Selection.LineDown()
    DTE.ExecuteCommand("Debug.SetNextStatement")
End Sub
