I can't set breakpoints!

I can set them, but my program won't stop at them. It just ignores them. Forgive me for not being able to provide all of the changes that have been made that have led up to this problem. I have been out of town for a few weeks , but I had this problem before I left. I remember having to change some kind of logon requirements for asp or something along those lines in response to an errpr I was getting that wouldn't let me debug at all. Now, I can run my application, but it won't stop where I tell it.

Can somebody tell me some things that I should check on to ensure that I can debug properly?

Thanks

I think I remember the last thing I did that seemed to trigger this problem. In Internet explorer -

-tools
-internet options
-security tab
-custom level
-logon options
-set to automatic logon with current username and password (at bottom)

Could this be the reason my breakpoints don't work? What should this be set to?

I am sort of desperate here as I need to debug to complete a project.

Thanks

Forgive my ignorence, but what IDE are you using.

This is asp/vbscript forum most of us use text editor to code asp. Are you refering to VisualStudio.net/ASP.net? Interdev?

I am using vb .net 2002. Sorry, I haven't posted here for quite a while. Can I move the thread or should I post another in a different forum?

Thats not a problem, i will PM a moderator to move this thread to ASP.Net forum.

One reason break point does not get executed is if you have set your build as "Release", you need to set it to "Debug" mode in order to use the break point and other debugging facilities.

Just make sure, your "Solution Configaration" is set to "Debug", just near the "Play/Run" button in the VS.Net IDE

I am just stating the ovbious, you are running the apps from the VB.Net IDE and not directly thorugh typing the URL in IE are you?

I tried reinstalling vb .net and the framework but it didn't make any difference.

Hope u have got the solution.But if not just try this.. I've had the similar problem and it got solved by:

Go to the Web.Config file.... Go to the compilation section and set debug = "true".

Jope u find this post helpful.

Re: I can't set breakpoints!

in your Project>Properties. Make sure you have the ASP.NET debugging option checked :D

you should also be a user in the debuggers group.

plus, we're all assuming you are clicking the "Play" button or pressing F5... are you? :D sorry if thats insulting question. asking the obvious
