Enable a breakpoint to have it halt program execution at the specific line in the source file. You can set a breakpoint using the Breakpoints, Disassembly, or editor views. An enabled breakpoint must still be resolved during a debug session before it can halt program execution. Enabling a breakpoint that you previously disabled is easier than clearing it and re-creating it from scratch.
Figure 1 shows some source code and the selected line shows the breakpoint icon that appears in the marker bar when a breakpoint is enabled.Figure 1 - Enabling breakpoint

If the source line has a breakpoint, the disabled breakpoint dot (
) changes to an enabled breakpoint dot (
). The enabled breakpoint indicates that the breakpoint, if resolved, will halt program execution.
