breakpoints to all the functions inside a .cs file

[LiYS]

Hi all, Is this possible that set breakpoints to all the functions inside a file? I just want to see which function is first called among many functions. I've tried Macro recording but didn't work out. Thanks,

YOu may use Call Stack [^]to determine the execution order.

Interesting question, and short of doing it manually I don't know of and doubt there is a standard way of setting breakpoints all over the shop. I can't see how the call stack would help either, as that just tells you how the runtime got to where it is now and may not include execution branches that have already run. Can you not just step through the code until such a function gets hit? Or, very obscure but perhaps you could intercept when the assembly is loaded which would give you an idea that one of its methos is about to be hit. I think there's an event on the AppDomain or something for that.

Breakpoints are saved in the solutionname.suo It should be possible to use reflection to get the methods and add breakpoints accordingly. This could be a good article topic if you succeed! [Edit] This[^] might be a good starting point for working with the suo file [/Edit]

Macro recording won't work, but you can write a macro that does the job. Here's what I came up with - it basically goes to each method in the currently open file and adds a breakpoint to the first line of the method.

Imports System
Imports EnvDTE
Imports EnvDTE80
Imports System.Diagnostics

Public Module Module1
Public Sub AutoBreakPoint()
ProcessFile()
End Sub

Function ProcessFile()

    Dim selection As EnvDTE.TextSelection
    Dim projectItem As ProjectItem
    Dim fileCodeModel As FileCodeModel
    Dim codeElement As CodeElement
    Dim i As Integer

    Dim currentFunction As CodeFunction

    projectItem = DTE.ActiveDocument.ProjectItem

    fileCodeModel = projectItem.FileCodeModel
    For i = 1 To fileCodeModel.CodeElements.Count
        codeElement = fileCodeModel.CodeElements.Item(i)
        ProcessCodeElement(codeElement)
    Next

    selection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection
    selection.SelectAll()
    selection.SmartFormat()

End Function

Sub ProcessNamespace(ByVal namespaceElement As CodeNamespace)
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim codeElement As CodeElement

    For i = 1 To namespaceElement.Members.Count
        codeElement = namespaceElement.Members.Item(i)
        ProcessCodeElement(codeElement)
    Next
End Sub
Sub ProcessCodeElement(ByVal codeElement As CodeElement)
    If codeElement.Kind = vsCMElement.vsCMElementNamespace Then
        ProcessNamespace(codeElement)
    ElseIf codeElement.Kind = vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass Then
        ProcessType(codeElement)
    ElseIf codeElement.Kind = vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction Then
        ProcessMethod(codeElement)
    End If
End Sub
Sub ProcessType(ByVal typeElement As CodeClass)
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim codeElement As CodeElement

    For i = 1 To typeElement.Members.Count
        codeElement = typeElement.Members.Item(i)
        If codeElement.Kind = vsCMElement.vsCMElementFunction Then
            ProcessMethod(codeElement)
        ElseIf codeElement.Kind = vsCMElement.vsCMElementClass Then
            ProcessType(codeElement)
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Sub ProcessMethod(ByVal methodElement As CodeFunction)
    Dim selection As EnvDTE.TextSelection
    Dim editPoint As EnvDTE.EditPoint
    Dim verifyPoint As EnvDTE.TextPoint
    Dim endPointA

Tried and True. Thank you very much! Thanks,
