What are the differences between async and synchronous debugging in Visual Studio?

What are the differences between async and synchronous debugging in Visual Studio?

Synchronous debugging executes code line by line, while asynchronous debugging allows for non-blocking operations, making it more efficient for I/O-bound tasks.

Can you explain how to set breakpoints in async methods?

To set breakpoints in async methods, simply click in the margin next to the line of code where you want the execution to pause, just like in synchronous methods.

What challenges might I face when debugging async code?

Common challenges include managing the execution flow, understanding task completion, and handling exceptions that may occur in different contexts.

Are there any tools in Visual Studio that help with async debugging?

Yes, Visual Studio provides features like the Tasks window and the Call Stack window, which help visualize async operations and their states.
