NoteNote

This feature is not available for SQL or script debugging.

The Modules window lists the modules—DLLs and EXE— used by your program, and shows relevant information for each.

NoteNote

The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Visual Studio Settings.

To display the Modules window in break mode or run mode

  • From the Debug menu, choose Windows, and click Modules.

    By default, the Modules window sorts modules by load order. You can choose to sort by any column, however.

To sort by any column

  • Click the button at the top of the column.

    You can load symbols or specify a symbol path from the Modules window using the shortcut menu. For more information, see How to: Specify a Symbol Path.
