where would we be without breakpoints

i have about 2 or 3 hundred lines of code, with an error in them, i put in about 150 breakpoints.

I propose a tribute, the programmers best friend BREAKPOINTS! haha

I thought a programmer's best friend was cocaine and lighter fluid?

:confused:

Just your's crptc... ;)

well thats my second best friend ;)

I know I'm going to sound like a moron saying this.....never used breakpoints......

I haven't used VB for at least 2 years, give me a break ;)

??? how do you figure out if your mid statement wasn't off by just a bit, or if you get an unbeievably odd return? see where it went wrong

I'd see what it would return and try to figure out what it did and fix it from there. I never got that good at vb.....that probably doesn't help much anyway :p

man that was nice! i just finished a function which is about 200 lines, had all kinds of mid statements in it (easy to be off one charector and be out a bit) and it worked perfect the first time. That is a great feeling :D

nice :D :cool:

doesn't happen often but when it does MAN ITS GREAT :D

I never use breakpoints either. I always use messageboxes. Like if i wanna see what is happening to a variable orwhatever i'll stick a Msgbox VariableName in the appropriate place. Works real well for me, but that's just cause i'm used to doing it that way.


I do know all about the Watch,Immediate,Locals and that other window. I just found that they just get in my way and slow me down.



Every now and then i screw up and put a messagebox inside a loop:eek: then i regret it.

just break it

I either do Debug.print statements, or i put an err.raise ### statement in there, so it generates a runtime error, and you can see the value of all the vars just by moving the mouse over them. Very convenient in my opinion.

that is exactly the same as breakpoints except breakpoints don't require code

seriously?:D Damn...and all this time...:D :p

Hmm just tried them out for the first time...very cool indeed...
