Hi all. I am doing research on how to better utilize breakpoints and am looking at defining conditions. I can visualize Expressions and Hit Counts, but am having trouble with Filters. I consulted this page:

Use breakpoints in the debugger - Visual Studio

This goes into detail, but sparse when discussing Filters. I also did some YouTube watching and found a video where the presenter using the Process name, but this does not work because he defined the executable process name instead of the process that runs within the IDE (VSHOST). His solution was to build the EXE, run it outside the IDE then attach a debugger to it.

The documentation states that I can use various expressions to define the filter, such as MachineName, ProcessId, ProcessName, ThreadId, or ThreadName, but I can't visualize how i would use these to debug my C# app. Can anyone recommend other sources of information that I can read up on to better understand filters and how I can use them? Thanks! Saga
