Debugging only working half the time

[Guest]

I am using VB.NET and for some reason debugging is not working properly.
Sometimes it will work and then other times it will not work at all. I will
often times have to Start the program using debug mode 5-10 times before my
break point is reached IF it is reached at all. Is there a solution?

Heres some system information

Daniel,

By chance are you starting your application by pressing CTRL+F5 (rather than
just pressing F5)? Using CTRL+F5 to start your application will start in
non-debug mode (assuming you're keyboard scheme hasn't been modified).
