Not sure if this is new or not, but this is such an awesome feature I had to blog about it. How many of you have Console.WriteLine or Debug.WriteLine or Trace.WriteLine statements cluttering up your code often for only temporary reasons? I just stumbled upon this tracepoint feature which works like a breakpoint except instead of breaking the code, it just writes a debug message optionally including variable values.

Right click a line of code (only tried C#), Breakpoint -> Insert Tracepoint.
