Debugging Tips and Tricks with #JetBrains Rider
summary
Shows how JetBrains Rider uses PDB-aware debugging to find bugs: step into/over/out, conditional breakpoints, run-to-here/non‑stop jumps, and change object fields at runtime so a wrong name becomes the right one without restarting. Covers run/debug configurations and a compound configuration that launches API+web together, attaching to local/remote processes, paging large IEnumerables, and saving breakpoints. Reveals a long‑kept tip (13 years, only two people knew) using the debugger display attribute to surface useful state.
