Is there a way to break the debugger when assertion is false and running the application using Visual Studio debugger. Earlier when I was debugging Windows application I would get an exception and the debugger would break, but now on Smart Device an assertion failed window is showed with stack trace, but I would also like to see variable values etc.

An assertion statement specifies a condition that you expect to hold true at some particular point in your program. If that condition does not hold true, the assertion fails, execution of your program is interrupted, and this dialog box appears. Click. To. Retry.
You may uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Package from Program & Features then reinstall it again. Thereafter, check if the issue persists. You may run system file checker [SFC] scan on the computer which will replace the missing or corrupt files & check if the issue persists.
An assertion failure occurs when the database server cannot continue normal processing and must shut down. You can correct some of the problems that cause assertion failures, such as disk issues. For other problems that cause assertion failures, you must contact IBM® Software Support.

Stupid me, the solution was simple. When the window pops out, press pause in debugger :)

Not sure about VS 2008, but in at least 2010 and later, you can go to Debug/Exceptions (Ctrl-Alt-E). Click the "Add" button, choose "Common Language Runtime Exceptions", and type:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.AssertFailedException
and hit "OK". It will now appear on the list, make sure you check the checkbox in the "Thrown" column. You will now get a break on any assert failure.
