## Creating Temporary Breakpoints and Watchpoints

Use the Properties for Breakpoint > Common > Ignore Count option to create temporary breakpoints or watchpoints. Where regular breakpoints or watchpoints suspend execution each time they are hit, a temporary one is removed once it is hit. The default value is 0, which suspends program execution each time the breakpoint or watchpoint are hit.

To set a temporary breakpoint or watchpoint, change the value of Ignore count to 1. The first time the breakpoint or watchpoint is hit execution is suspended, while any subsequent hits are ignored.
