Breakpoint Properties

Breakpoints have a number of additional properties that change the point at which the breakpoint is hit, and determine what happens at that point. These properties define:

The action to be performed
The line of code that the breakpoint applies to
Constraints to restrict when the breakpoint is hit
Trace information to be output when the breakpoint is hit
