# Setting Conditional Breakpoints

**Easily and intuitively set conditional breakpoints**

## Overview

***Conditional Breakpoints*** can make debugging so much more productive, but without OzCode, using them feels like a chore. OzCode makes adding a Conditional Breakpoint super easy! In just a single click, OzCode will set up a Conditional Breakpoint based on a specific property value, and pre-fill the predicate for you.

## Using Conditional breakpoints

In order to run this demo click the _Conditional Breakpoins_ button in the demo application.

Everything seems ok, no exception was thrown and the run finished successfully!
Until we get an (imaginary) email or phone call telling us that at least one customer ('Robert Williams') was not approved, and did not get his order...

Since we have no clue why that happened, we add a breakpoint at the beginning of the __PaymentValidation.Validate__ method.   
Running the method for all of the customers is nearly impossible. Instead, we want to run until we get to 'Robert Williams'.
* Pass the 'foreach' line and place the caret on the customer.   
* When the Watch Window appears, expand customer properties and look for 'FirstName'.
* Place the caret on the first name property, and 'Custom Actions' (wand) will appear
* Choose 'Add conditional Breakpoint'

In the new dialog, replace the current customer first name with 'Robert'

To make sure that we do not accidentally break on the wrong customer we want to add the customer surname as well ('Williams').  
There are two ways to achieve this: 
- Add '&&', copy the existing text, and replace 'Robert' with 'Williams' 'FirstName' with 'SurName' (or any other property - OzCode supports code completion).
- While **keeping the Conditional Breakpoint editor window open**, hover over "customer" to make the DataTip window appear, hover over the  'SurName' property and then press the little '+' sign.

And we're ready to go!

Press 'OK' to close the Conditional Breakpoint dialog, and press F5 to continue running until we reach 'Robert Williams'.  

Now if we follow the code execution  (F11), we reach the problematic method. It seems someone forgot to add support for Robert's credit card (or a new card was added without support).

 Now we can use a conditional breakpoint in order to check if there are other unsupported credit cards:
 - Place your caret on 'CCType' and select 'Add conditional Breakpoint'
 - Update the condtion so that the execution breaks for any other credit card which is not 'Visa' or 'MasterCard'.

 Run the application again and check.
