When you use the Local Debugger Tool in Visual Studio 2013 Community edition with your Arduino UNO board the build output windows as seen in this next image refers to a Serial Port Tool Bar.

If the board is not connected when you locally debug you get the following message in your build output window:

serialPortToolBar1

You may not see this Serial Port Toolbar unless you enable it as shown:

serialPortToolBar2

Since the board is not connected to the computer with the USB, the debugger is off and you get the message 'Port failed to open'.

serialPortToolBar3

Now I connect the Arduino UNO board to the laptop and on the Arduino UNO I click Reconnect and then I can stop/start/pause the processes to debug.

serialPortToolBar4

Placed a break point to see how to get to the local debugger windows.
