Debug Unit Tests on Windows Mobile VS2008

[Roman Mellenberger]

Hi,

I have just tried to debug my unit test methods written for a solution
with VS2008. Unfortunately I'm not able to debug theese tests and the
application. The breakpoints during test are never hit. I have checked
the following configurations:


Target Device: WM 5.0 Pocket PC (Symbol MC70)
- Debug of Application -> OK
- Debug of unit Tests -> Breakpoints not hit

Target Device: WM 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator
- Debug of Application -> OK
- Debug of unit Tests -> Breakpoints not hit

Target Device: WM 6.0 Classic Emulator
- Debug of Application -> OK
- Debug of unit Tests -> Breakpoints not hit

Can anybody help me with this issue?

Thanks in advance
Roman

The debug breaks will never be hit. For the inordinately painful process of
debugging the unit tests see this:
