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
Yes, you can do this directly using a tracepoint.
{@eip = address} using the address from step 1.There's no way I know of to do this with a breakpoint but you can use compiler directives to skip code
#if (DEBUG)
//this code is skipped in debug mode
#endif
Try:
#if DEBUG
Response.Redirect("LoginFail.aspx");
#endif
Make sure you have the DEBUG constant checked in your build properties.
Agree with the use of compiler directives or any other requiring to add logic in code. However, also understand editing the debugged code is not always an option (e.g. not owning the code might imply not having all resources needed to build it).
If that's your case, I'm afraid that writing your own macro or waiting for VS to have one built-in equivalent are your only options.
