Debug windows workflow

Workflows can be debugged in the designer, in XAML, and in code. Execution of the workflow then breaks when the workflow host is run in debug mode. In the following screenshot, workflow execution is paused at a breakpoint. For more information, see Debugging Workflows with the Workflow Designer. If a workflow has paused at a breakpoint in the designer, the workflow can also be debugged in XAML. Debugging can be switched back to the designer by re-opening the workflow in the designer from the solution explorer.
