Remarks

The common language runtime attaches no semantics to this attribute. It is provided for use by source code debuggers. For example, the Visual Studio debugger does not stop in a method that is marked with this attribute but does allow a breakpoint to be set in that method. The combination of the DebuggerStepThroughAttribute attribute and the DebuggerHiddenAttribute attribute, which hides the code from the debugger, is the equivalent of the DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute attribute.
