Question

In my project I have a heavy part of code that should be executed on a separate thread without blocking UI. When debugger hits the breakpoint inside this code, VS2015 freezes fo

Answer 1

I've experienced similar issues with VS2015 freezing (indefinitely) whilst debugging a multi thread WinForms application.

I had no problems debugging the same code in VS2013.

The problem appears to go away when I disable the VS hosting process (Project -> Properties -> Debug -> Enable the Visual Studio hosting process).

Hope that works for others.
