Debug a CodeSmith template

This is more of a more reminder to myself than anything else. Everytime I go looking for the keyword to set a breakpoint in the CodeSmith template code behind, I ended up spending a solid 20-30 minutes looking in all the wrong placed. I guess I need to learn to Google a bit better.

In order to set a breakpoint in a CodeSmith template set the .cst Debug tag to True. Then set your break point using Debugger.Break or if you're in the code behind add the namespace System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break.
