It is conditional breakpoint. You can specify some condition like someValue == true then only then it will hit.

"◇" is a diamond (or less commonly, rhombus), "□" is a square. While I rarely ever post comments of this nature, I think it's important to note because people are more likely to be searching for the correct term for the symbol when encountering this situation.

It is indeed referred to as a diamond in the documentation which is actually why I did not catch it in my search through the debugging section. It looks like it has 4 right angles which makes it a square still regardless of rotation.

It means execution will not break at that breakpoint, but only a message will be output in the debugging log.
To change this, right click on the breakpoint and choose "Settings" (In older VS Version) or "Actions" (starting with VS 2017).
