Break All and stay in the current document
Download

A Visual Studio extension that breaks debugger execution and automatically closes unwanted debugger windows (showing external/disassembly code), returning focus to your working document.

The Problem

Some developers have a workflow which includes a lot of work with Edit & Continue:

  1. Run the application
  2. Find the spot where the code needs to be changed
  3. Signal the debugger to break
  4. Close the window that opens (often with the code that was running, not your change, sometimes nothing because it was all external code)
  5. Make a change
  6. Continue the application and see if the change results in the right behavior
  7. Repeat steps 3 through 6

This extension does step 4 automatically when you use the "Break All in Current Document" button.
