Automatically generate breakpoints for all the public entry points in your solution.
Download

This extension enables you to generate breakpoints (and TracePoints) for any public method in your application.  This quickly allows you to learn the execution flow of new code bases and add debug time logging to your applications without the need to modify the source code.

Some important things to note:

  • The tool only works with Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017
  • The tool only works with C# projects

Using the tool

Once you download and install the tool, a new menu item "Generate Breakpoints" will appear under the Debug menu.
 
You can then choose which projects, files, and methods to create breakpoints for.
 
The tool will by default generate TracePoints but can be configured to use a different default message or create breakpoints instead.
 
More information can be found in the blog post announcing the tool.
