Debugging Global.asax

[Andrew]

Hello,

I have an asp.net (c#) app in VS 2k3 on a WinXP sp2 box. Local IIS web
server. The breakpoints in the Global.asax are not being hit. When I start
the debugger the glyph becomes a question mark and hovering the mouse over
it displays ". no symbols are loaded for this document". The modules window
says the symbols are loaded and the reload symbols option is grayed. Also
breakpoints in other files work. I tried creating a new app and setting
breakpoints in Global.asax they don't hit either. I've deleted the \bin
folder, the cache, the solution file, restarted IIS and rebuilt with no
luck. web.config has debug="true" and the project properties is set to
debug. Any direction on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I suggest that you debug by setting up trace up.

Use the following:

(VB.Net)
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break()

Where you would like the debugger to stop.
