    I am sorry; I was not clear. I mean that it is important to use the names (terms) that Microsoft uses so people know that when someone says "Step over" they mean the same thing that can be done using F10. If we say "single step" then we mean the same thing that can be done using F8 or F10 (and other keys). For F10 you say "to see which lines of code are being executed" and "to see the line by line execution". Pressing F10 does not show line by line execution; it shows execution of just one line. It will really help a lot if the article uses the terms Step Into, Step Over and Step Out the same as in the documentation.

  Many times in the forums the only assistance we can suggest is to debug the program. This will help explain how to do that. It will be extremely useful therefore if the common name was used for things; such as "Step Over" for F10. For example see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff541507(VS.85).aspx

  Nice to articles on the tools. We are lacking articles in this area. Thanks again!
