Your step-into request resulted in an automatic step-over of a property or operator

Question

I am getting the following error message while running .net 3.5 applciation

Your step-into request resulted in an automatic step-over of a property

Answer 1

The reason that we get this prompt is:
that we may have created properties or operators in our classes, and when, during debugging, we reach that line of code, it is stepped over (like the effect of F10 ) instead of stepping into ( the actual effect of F11 )

e.g., this line of code,

having pressed F11 here, resulted into effect of pressing F10
So Visual Studio notifies us..and gives this beautiful, well illustrated message, which I could only understand when I read the following blogpost

Answer 2

It is not an error message as such. The IDE is telling you that tracing for some of your code is being skipped during debugging due to the current settings. If you want to be able to trace into the code, change the settings as described in the message.

You can change this behavior by going to: Tools -> Option -> Debugging.
