With a few simple tweaks, the Visual Studio debugger can be
streamlined and customized to make it work much more effectively. Rather than
showing you more than you need to know or forcing you to follow repetitive code
paths, you can focus on just the parts of your application you need to see when
debugging. I also highly recommend reading the resources listed at the end of
this article, especially Anson
Horton's PDC tips and tricks -- his PDC presentation served as the inspiration
for this article. You will also want to read the related article, Visual Studio
2005 Code Snippets, so that you can encapsulate these tricks into your
day-to-day activities without having to write much code.
