What are the best practices for using async tools in Visual Studio Debugger?

When using async tools in Visual Studio Debugger, it's important to follow these best practices: 1. Use breakpoints wisely to avoid blocking the UI. 2. Leverage the Task window to monitor running tasks. 3. Understand the context of async calls to avoid deadlocks.

Can you explain how to set breakpoints for async methods?

To set breakpoints in async methods, simply click in the margin next to the line of code where you want to pause execution. Visual Studio will handle the context switching for you.

What should I do if my async method is not hitting the breakpoint?

If your async method isn't hitting the breakpoint, ensure that the method is actually being called. Also, check if the breakpoint is enabled and that you're debugging the correct project configuration.

Are there any tools to help visualize async calls?

Yes, Visual Studio provides the Tasks window and the Call Stack window, which can help visualize async calls and their execution flow.
