Exporting and importing breakpoints

Exporting breakpoints

To export breakpoints, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Right-click in the Breakpoints view and select Export breakpoints.
  2. In the Export Breakpoints window, select the breakpoints that you want to export.
  3. In the To file field, type in the path and file name.
  4. If you do not want the debugger to warn you when it overwrites an existing file with the same name, select Overwrite existing file without warning.
  5. Click Finish to save to the file.
    You can import the breakpoints saved in this file and send the file to other users who are debugging the same program so that they can import the same breakpoints.

Importing breakpoints

To import breakpoints, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Verify that you are importing the breakpoints into the same program from which you exported them. If you try to import the breakpoint into a different program, the debugger might not be able to install the breakpoint.
  2. Right-click in the Breakpoints view and select Import breakpoints.
    The Import Breakpoints window opens.
  3. In the From file field of the Import Breakpoints window, specify the path and file name, and specify bkpt as the file extension. You can also use Browse to navigate to the file.
  4. If you have existing breakpoints that you want the debugger to replace with the breakpoints in the file, select the Update existing breakpoints check box.
  5. If you want the debugger to create a new working set for these breakpoints, select the Create breakpoint working sets check box.
  6. Click Finish.
