VS 2005 Debug Problem

[Joe]

I am using VS2005 to develop a VB.NET application and for some
reason, it is not letting me run the app in debug mode. I press F5,
the IDE flickers for a few seconds like it is thinking about
something, and then it exits without running the app. No error
messages, it just does not start the app.

I have successfully debugged on this machine before, so I know
that it is possible. Maybe I changed a configuration setting that is
causing this problem? Can anyone tell me how to get the debugger to
run the app?

Any help appreciated.

Does this occur for all projects, or just one in particular? If you
have not tried, just create a new console application, "Hello, world"
app and try. Maybe your project is corrupted. It seems someone has had
a similar issue before with a corrupted project.

This problem does not happen for all of my projects. Some
projects which I created prior to last month run in the debugger
fine. This problem only started happening recently, and I did create
a brand new Hello World type of project and it will not debug. I
have noticed that I have .exe and .pdb files in my /bin/debug folder,
as expected, and I have nothing in my /bin/release folder - I am not
sure if files should be in this folder prior to running the
debugger. I would expect the debugger to use the files in /bin/
debug.
