The icons serve as convenient shortcuts for managing breakpoints. Clicking an icon removes the breakpoint. Successive use of Alt+ClickAlt Click on an icon toggles its state between enabled and disabled. The settings of a breakpoint are shown at the tooltip when a mouse pointer hovers over a breakpoint icon in the gutter area of the editor.

The table below summarizes the possible breakpoint states:
| Status | Line | Exception | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enabled |
|
| Shows at design-time or during the debugging session. |
| Disabled |
|
| Indicates that nothing happens when the breakpoint is hit. |
| Conditionally disabled |
|
| This state is assigned to breakpoints when they depend on another breakpoint to be activated. |
