How to tell Visual Studio to not navigate away from current file on Break All?

Is there a way to avoid Visual Studio from going to another file when pausing a session?

If you’re debugging a class somewhere else and the code is called from a form which in turns executes a ShowDialog(); (or similar), if you suddenly pause the application, Visual Studio will switch to the file (which sometimes is the Main() method). I’d like to stay in the file I have in front of me, since I usually need to add/remove waypoints or change code and it’s annoying (if you 开发者_Python百科have too many open files) to go back to the point where i was before the pause.

Couldn’t find the option.

Latest build of VSCommands extension (free version) available from http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/a83505c6-77b3-44a6-b53b-73d77cba84c8 has just what you want. It adds a Break In Current Document button to Debug Toolbar and Debug Menu:

I'm not sure exactly how to solve your problem, but perhaps you may want to use one of the following methods for easily returning to the exact point you were interested in:

A. (From the Menu) View -> Navigate Backward. I have this bound to a key combination I find easy. Note that this only works positions in the code where you have actually been editing / navigating with the cursor.

B. Add a bookmark to the line you're interested in returning to with the key combination Ctrl-K, Ctrl-K. You can view, name, and navigate to all your bookmarks via the bookmark window. You can also navigate through your bookmarks via the key combination Ctrl-K, Ctrl-N

One more work around - U can press CTRL-F4 to close the navigated file instantly and go back to your desired file !
