An issue with Visual Studio Debugging Resolved
In a shameless attempt to help promote traffic to my new permanent blog site (http://www.davebost.com), I will offer up teasers to my posts on my weblogs.asp.net site with a link to the actual post.
On to the post...
I was helping one of the developers on our team with an interesting little debugging issue in Visual Studio .NET today. I thought I share it with my readers (all 3 of you).
One of our developers came up to me today and said he was having an issue with a breakpoint not hitting. This particular situation involved a main web project alongside a class library project under one solution. He was setting a breakpoint in the class project and sure enough it wasn't firing. These are always fun ones to figure out, so I go through my standard questions for debugging web applications:
1.) Are you compiling in Debug or Release mode?
2.) Does the web config have the debug attribute set to true in the <compilation> configuration setting under <system.web>?
3.) Do you have the appropriate permissions? Are you an Administrator? If not, are you a member of the VS Developers and Debugger Users groups?
In this particular case, he answered Yes to all 3. <more>
