Hi, I am new to Unity and VS and help someone can help me. When I run my app in Emulator or hololens, how can I debug the script I wrote for Unity?

As @HoloSheep mentions, you will need to check the "Unity C# Projects" box in the Unity Build Settings dialog to have the scripts added to your Visual Studio solution.
Please note that building a Debug target will impact the performance of your application. When I debug my projects, unless I need specific debugging features (such as un-optimized code), I build my project for Release when debugging.
Thanks!

@Fireman,
When you are in Visual Studio, select Debug > Start with Debugging (or press F5) and you will be able to debug these scripts. Unity scripts compile into an assembly that is loaded by your application and are able to be debugged like any other assembly.
Thanks!

@DavidKlineMS, thanks. But I could not find my script in VS project. SHould it be there? Without the original script file, how can I set break point?
@Fireman the first thing you want to double check is that on the build settings screen in Unity you have the "Unity C# Projects" checkbox checked when you build from Unity.
Next when you open the VS solution that gets built into the App directory from the Build output, look for the "Assembly-CSharp (Universal Windows)" project in the Solution Explorer.
Inside that project you should find the scripts that you created and worked with in Unity along with any other relevant folders from your Unity Assets directory like: HoloToolkit folder for example if you have the HoloToolKit included in your application.
If you open any of those script .cs files in that project and add your breakpoints, the debugger should break on those lines when they are executed if you launch debugging in VS with Debug | x86 and hit the Green Arrow "Start Debugging" button with the appropriate target (emulator, Remote Machine, Device) selected.

Got it. Thank you all.
Can anyone please help me understand why this is happening?
I put the snap shot from Visual studio
You have a space in the name of your Unity project.
Yes I agree and the length of the path causes problems as well. Use something short like "C:\Unity\" instead of Documents.
It worked. Thank you very much.
