Breakpoints not working

[R7Dave]

Hello

I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and my breakpoints are not working. I verified this by putting a breakpoint at each line of a sample .aspx page in a new project (code used below). I tried resarting - no luck.

Is there a setting to enable this or is this a bug? Any suggestions?

Thanks
Dave

Partial Class _1
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Button1.Text = "OK"
Dim s As String
s = "Not Ok"
Button1.Text = s
End Sub
End Class

In the web.config you have to set compilation debug mode to true in the system.web section:

<system.web>

<compilation debug="true">

Hello

I added that but it did not work.

Thanks

How are you firing up your application - are you hitting the Start Debugging button (debug menu)?

i was pressing F5 - but this is how I've always done it and breakpoints would work.

Thanks

I made a mistake - I'm right clicking the page and selecting "View in Browser" and the breakpoints don't work but they do if I set the start page and press F5 (Start Debugging) I didn't know that made a difference - thank you for your help.

No problem - I think when you 'view in browser' visual studio doesn't attach to the process.

If you are going to right click and view in browser, then you will have to attach to the asp worker process(aspnet_wp.exe) off of the debug menu
