For break points to fire, you have to run the program inside the IDE (Visual C++ editor in your case) wherein you set them, usually using F5.

If you run from a command prompt there is no debugger attached to the process so nothing can detect the breakpoint being hit. You can also attach a debugger to a running process and set breakpoints to fire post facto.
