PowerShell 2.0: One Cmdlet at a Time #61 Disable-PSBreakpoint

Continuing the series looking at new cmdlets available in PowerShell 2.0. This time we look at the Disable-PSBreakpoint cmdlet.

What can I do with it?

Disable debugging breakpoints that have been set with Set-PSBreakpoint.

Example:

Disable the breakpoint with ID 0 and then check its properties to confirm it has been disabled.

Disable-PSBreakpoint -id 0
Get-PSBreakpoint -id 0 | Format-List *

You will notice that the Enabled property is set to False.

How could I have done this in PowerShell 1.0?

Setting breakpoints did not exist in PowerShell 1.0, however most scripting IDE’s ship with debugging features.
