>For lurkers who may not know, you can open the break point dialog and deactivate a break point--but not delete it. This way you can keep your breaks (which can be a PIA to set up), but not have to fight through them when they don't have meaning. This ability helps the debugger be really useful.
I think the next book we need is "Art of debugger use and other dirty tricks", or "how I stopped worrying and learned to love the debugger". Actually, the more I use it, the better it fits, just like a new pair of shoes gets accustomed to your foot (and not vice versa!). I think some things would take hours to understand and solve - and proper use of the debugger makes that minutes. It's got a few glitches, but it's still a great tool.
Does this make two?
