Mario,

If you wish to stop execution on a specific line, use a conditional 
breakpoint:
1. Place a breakpoint in the line you want to stop at
2. Right click the Breakpoint marker (or open the Breakpoints view and 
right click the breakpoint's entry), and select "Breakpoint properties"
3. Enable the "Enable Condition" checkbox and specify the break condition

If you wish to stop whenever a variable's value is changing (without 
knowing the specific line), use watchpoints:
1. Select the variable in the editor or in the outline view
2. From the Run menu, select "Toggle Watchpoint". You can then customize 
the watchpoint behavior by right-clicking it in the Breakpoints view and 
selecting "Properties" from the menu.

HTH,
Asaf
