-Breakpoints are one of the most important debugging techniques in your developer's toolbox. You set breakpoints wherever you want to pause debugger execution. For example, you may want to see the state of code variables or look at the call stack at a certain breakpoint.  If you are trying to resolve a warning or issue while using breakpoints, see [Troubleshoot breakpoints in the Visual Studio debugger](../debugger/troubleshooting-breakpoints.md).

-> If you know the task or problem you're trying to solve, but you need to know what kind of breakpoint to use, see [FAQ - Find your debugging feature](../debugger/find-your-debugging-task.yml#breakpoints).

-You can set a breakpoint on any line of executable code. For example, in the following C# code, you could set a breakpoint on the line of code with the variable assignment (`int testInt = 1`), the `for` loop, or any code inside the `for` loop. You can't set a breakpoint on method signatures, declarations for a namespace or class, or variable declarations if there's no assignment and no getter/setter.
+You can set a breakpoint on any line of executable code. For example, take a look at this simple C# code that creates a simple loop.

+{
+    testInt += i;

 To set a breakpoint in source code:
 
 - Click in the far left margin next to a line of code. You can also select the line and press **F9**, select **Debug** > **Toggle Breakpoint**, or right-click and select **Breakpoint** > **Insert breakpoint**. The breakpoint appears as a red dot in the left margin.
 
-For most languages including C#, breakpoint and current execution lines are automatically highlighted. For C++ code, you can turn on highlighting of breakpoint and current lines by selecting **Tools** (or **Debug**) > **Options** > **Debugging** >  **Highlight entire source line for breakpoints and current statement (C++ only)**.

+## Types of breakpoints
+
+Visual Studio supports different types of breakpoints to support different debugging scenarios, such as conditional breakpoints that only activate based on specified criteria. For more information, see [Use the right type of breakpoint](../debugger/using-breakpoints.md).

  You can use the **Breakpoints** window to see and manage all the breakpoints in your solution. This centralized location is especially helpful in a large solution, or for complex debugging scenarios where breakpoints are critical.
