Run: This message means your program is currently running. It doesn't mean any specific code is actually being executed -- perhaps the target device is just sitting idle, waiting for an event to happen. But the program is still running -- not paused. This state is entered by pressing F5 or Debug > Run. |

Break: This message occurs when the Virtual Machine on the target was stopped while executing code. The easiest way to get to this state is by setting and reaching a breakpoint in code. You might also get to this state by selecting Debug > Pause, if you happen to catch the Virtual Machine in the midst of code execution. Once in this state, the program pointer (a yellow line) is displayed and indicates the next instruction that the Virtual Machine will execute when started. You can now inspect and change various properties and variables (both global and local) using the watch. This is the only state which allows stepping. |
|
Pause: This message occurs when the Virtual Machine on the target was stopped while not executing code (in other words, it was caught between events). No program pointer is displayed in this state, because no code is being executed. You can check and modify the state of properties and global variables, etc using the watch. This state is entered by selecting Debug > Pause. |
|
Abort (exception): This message indicates that an internal error has occurred. The message in parentheses is a short error code. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see a more detailed report of the error. The program pointer will appear at the problematic line. This state is similar to a break, only it is not caused by a breakpoint but by an abnormal condition. All possible causes for exception are listed in Exceptions. |
