Setting a breakpoint in the middle of a line with multiple statements

Question

I want to have a single line of code with an if and the result on the same line. Example

    if(_count > 0) return;

If I add a breakpoint on the line, it is set on the if(_count > 0):

but what I want is to have the breakpoint on the return; like so:

Is this doable?

NOTE: The closest question I could find on SO was this (which is not the same thing).

Answer 1

Just click on a part of the line and press F9. This will set breakpoint in the middle of the line.

Answer 2

EDIT

mareko posted a 3rd option that seems to work just fine and is much easier than messing around with all this line-and-character stuff. I'm going to leave this answer for completeness, but mareko's is much more practical in general.

Yes, but unfortunately, there is no drag-and-drop or anything like that. You have 2 options:

OPTION 1

Move your return to a new line:

obviously, you can leave it like that, but if you want to keep the return on the same line as the if, you can simply delete the new line and the whitespace between the if and the return -- the breakpoint should "stick" to the return as you move it around.

This is probably the easier way to do it unless you are currently debugging code that does not have edit-and-continue for whatever reason. In that case, you'll need option 2...

OPTION 2

Alternately, you can place the cursor just before the r in 'return' and then look in your status bar to see which character ("Ch") you are on. In my case, I'm on 20

now right click on the breakpoint and choose "Location..."

In the dialog box that pops up, set Character: to whatever the status bar was (20 in our example).
