Isn't that what debugging mostly is? You write code, you try it out, an error is generated, you examine the value of the variables, the objects, take note of the exeption that was thrown and try again setting a breakpoint somewhere before the error to see the flow of the application to determine why it went wrong. Then once you understand that you write a unit test to ensure that code path has a test, if it didn't already, so that if the error rears its ugly head once more then you see it instantly in the unit tests.

Have a look at the MSDN Nuggets videos on debugging. There's one called "Tools for Debugging" or something like that. There's a whole section just on VS 2005 debugging. But some of it is applicable to VS 2002/3 debugging too. You will get some ideas from watching a few of them. http://www.microsoft.com/uk/msdn/events/nuggets.aspx[^] Kevin
