Brakepoints not working on my application.

[Guest]

I am trying to debug one application, but I noticed that eventhough I placed
the brake points where I want to trace the application. The Red Dots are
showing a white question mark, and If I stand the mouse by it, It says "the
breakpoint will not currently be hit. No simbols have been loade for this
document.


I really have never seen this before, is like the brakepoints are not taking
effect nowhere whithing this application. I can not trace it at all.

I anyone have seen this or has an idea of what it could be, please notify me
what is going on. Thanks a lot.

Dear Eduardo78,

Make sure the Build configuration is set to "Debug" and the option "Generate
debugging information" is checked.
If that does not work, delete all .pdb files from your bin and recompile.

Hope it helps,

Thanks a lot for your help Michel, I checked what you suggested me, and also
deleted ddb's and recompiled, but I still have the same problem.

If you think of anything else I will appreciate it a lot.

Thanks,

Ed

Ed,

Is the application that you are referring to a WinForms application, or
is it an ASP.Net application? I would assume that you are having
problems with the former, but If it is the latter, the debugger might
not be attached to the ASP.Net Worker Process.

If it isn't an ASP.Net application, just ignore this post. ;-)

Yes, this is a Windows App.

I still having the same situation, It seems to be running from the .exe and
not from the project itself (sln).

Eduardo,

This question mark will be placed if you try to set the breakpoint on
something as a dim.

Can it be that?

Dear Eduardo78,

Could you verify that the timestamp of the assembly/assemblies are
corresponding with the .pdb files.
If this is the case you can then try to remove the /bin and /obj directories
and rebuild. If it still not works then try to
remove the assembly/assemblies from the GAC (C:\Windows/Assembly). If that
still not works try to create a whole new project.

Hope this helps,
