.net - Step Into Property/Function (F11) doesn't work as expected

Question

In Visual Studio 2010, the Step Into Property/Function (F11) doesn't work as expected.

It doesn't step into property setters or getters.

I converted the solution from Visual Studio 2005 to 2010, the function i wanted to step into is a property in a separate class library.

How can I make it work as I expect?

Answer 1

In VS 2010 it is the default setting that you step over properties and operators(like F10) even if you want to step into(F11). So here is the solution:

• Go to Tools > Options menu in Visual Studio.
• Go to Debugging > General menu item in left pane.
• In right view you will see an option Step over properties and operators (Managed only). Uncheck this option and then you are all set.
