	Hello, I recently switched from Arduino IDE to Visual Studio 2015 on a windows 10 laptop. Building and compiling works fine. Breakpoints are visible in the breakpoints window. After several hours reading in the manual still no break-point reactions. Typical beginners problems I suppose. Questions: 1 Whats the difference between a dot and square mark in the margin? 2 The option button in the serial-monitor is dimmed and not working.How can I activate this button? 3 How can I get line-numbers in the editor window? Anton

	Hi, Sorry for the delay. Please show screen shot of your ide with the vMicro menu dropped down. Answers:- Quote: 1 Whats the difference between a dot and square mark in the margin? The red dot changes depending on if there is a condition attached to the breakpoint (ie: only break if i>5) or if a "when hit" print message has been added to the break point. There is also a breakpoint list that can be viewed by clicking "debug>other windows>breakpoints" which gives a clear summary of the breakpoints. You can read more about Visual Studio 2015 + breakpoints on the Microsoft web site Quote: 2 The option button in the serial-monitor is dimmed and not working.How can I activate this button? It activates if debug is enabled. For example with automatic debug enabled you just need to switch the tool bar from "Release" to "Debug" then upload to start debug. When debug is active the option button will be active, you will also see the debug trace appear which will show when debug is attempting to start and when it has started. A "watch expressions" window will also appear. Quote: 3 How can I get line-numbers in the editor window? On the menu bar, choose Tools, Options. Expand the Text Editor node, and then select either the node for the language you are using, or All Languages to turn on line numbers in all languages. Or you can type line number in the Quick Launch box Read more on msdn
