Shows processes under control of the debugger and the modules currently loaded by each process. This window is divided into the following areas.

Area 
Description 
Modules pane (upper left side) 
Displays the processes and modules sorted, by default, in the order in which they are loaded. Each process can have one or more modules which it loads. When a process terminates or a module is unloaded, it is removed from the list.
Execution point green arrow indicates the current process.
To sort the display, click a column heading.  
Source pane (lower left side) 
If debug information is available, displays the source files that were used to build the module currently selected in the Modules pane.  
Scope Browser (right side, for managed code only) 
Displays a hierarchical tree view of the namespaces, classes, and methods used in the application.
Namespace folder icon represents a namespace.
Namespace blue sphere icon represents a class.
Method green arrows icon represents a method.  
Entry Point pane (right side, for unmanaged code only)  
Displays the name and addresses of the entry points for the module currently selected in the Modules pane.
The entry point is only shown if the source for it can found.
To sort the display, click a column heading.
The runtime image base address is the memory offset, in hexadecimal, where the module actually loads, and is distinct from the preferred image base address you may have specified in the ProjectOptions window.
