    "◇" is a diamond (or less commonly, rhombus), "□" is a square. While I rarely ever post comments of this nature, I think it's important to note because people are more likely to be searching for the correct term for the symbol when encountering this situation.

    It is indeed referred to as a diamond in the documentation which is actually why I did not catch it in my search through the debugging section. It looks like it has 4 right angles which makes it a square still regardless of rotation.

It means execution will not break at that breakpoint, but only a message will be output in the debugging log.



To change this, right click on the breakpoint and choose "Settings" (In older VS Version) or "Actions" (starting with VS 2017).

    square breakpoint you mention is Breakpoint actions and tracepoints.



    According to docs.microsoft.com debugger using breakpoint




    A tracepoint is a breakpoint that prints a message to the Output window. A tracepoint can act like a temporary trace statement in the programming language.




    You can change the breakpoint setting by click on setting button near breakpoint by moving cursor to breakpoint.
