Clear breakpoints in C# Express

In VS2003 there was commandDebug->Clear All Breakpoints andDebug->Disable All Breakpoints. How do the same in Visual C# Express(beta 2)?

That functionality has been dropped from C# Express as far as I can tell. There are alot of little things like that that have been dropped. You can't, for example, set breakpoint properties anymore either.

This is correct, there are a number of more advanced debugging features which have been left out of the Express products for the sake of reducing complexity. The goal of the Express products is to provide a streamlined experience, with a not-overwhelming selections of menu items and and toolwindows. As part of this, we scaled back much of the advanced breakpoint functionality that is present in the other VS products. This allows the use of breakpoints (and the debugging experience in general) in Express to be much simpler and more approachable for users who are new to Express and the VS products in general.

Thanks,

It would be nice if at some point we could get a comprehensive list of dropped features from C# Express. The Add-In Manager was available in early C# Express CTP's and no longer exists now, for example. This could cause confusion.

This is a great product and I am so appreciative that something this powerful and easy-to-use is given away. But if there was one feature that was annoying me most at this point, it would have to be the fact that you can't disable all breakpoints. It's not a show stopper, but it would definitely help me out greatly.
