Hi,

Are you looking to debug in Sandbox, then its simple

1. Mark your code where you want to stop the debugger by pressing F9 function key as a breakpoint on that line.

2. Click on Run > Start Debugging or Press F5 function key to start debugger.

Hi,

Open Visual Studio

Go>Run>Start Debugging

After that, mark the break point on the events where you want to debug the code and then open the BC D365 and do the process, system automatically go to the event where you marked the event. for more clarity refer the below image as example.

after that

F11 or down arrow --> debug the code line wise in detail

F10 or curve arrow--> debug the code only line wise

F5 or Up arrow--> debug the code where breakpoints enables. RED dot is called break point and shortcut key is F9.

Hi, I recommend Microsoft Learn's materials.

Debug and deploy your extension in Dynamics 365 Business Central

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/debug-deploy-extension/

And for Snapshot Debugging (Debugging in Cloud Production)

https://yzhums.com/13350/

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.
