Interactive .NET Debugging in Visual Studio Code

Finding and fixing bugs in your C# code does not have to be a guessing game of writing endless print statements. By learning to use a professional interactive debugger, you can pause execution, inspect memory, and diagnose issues in real time. This text-based course guides you through the core concepts of debugging .NET applications within Visual Studio Code, helping you transition from basic troubleshooting to confidently navigating complex execution paths and resolving errors systematically. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational debugging terms, runtime states, and the call stack. - Configure launch configurations and tasks to customize your debugging environment. - Manage standard breakpoints, conditional breakpoints, and logpoints to isolate issues. - Inspect variables, evaluate expressions, and monitor application state on the fly. - Debug asynchronous C# code and handle runtime exceptions gracefully. - Leverage modern extensions like the C# Dev Kit for an optimized development workflow. The course starts with essential debugging terminology and environment setup before moving into step-by-step written walkthroughs of real-world debugging scenarios. You will practice identifying logical errors and runtime exceptions using structured, readable code examples. This course is designed for beginner C# developers and those new to the Visual Studio Code ecosystem, with no prior debugging experience required.
