To issue build and debug commands, click the icons on the Toolbar. These icons include:
| Icon | Action |
| Compiles the active source file. | |
| Builds the current project. | |
| Sets a breakpoint at the insertion point. | |
| Displays the Quickwatch debugging dialog box. | |
| Steps into a function when it is called and steps through all of the instructions in the function. | |

When an icon isn't available (for example, the trace command when you are not debugging) the icon is dimmed.
