Breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols loaded for this document.

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

While running project all class library classes get read only and brakepoints turn empty and say "Breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols loaded for this document". Never had problem with it before.

Configuration manager shows library class as in debug so what's the problem.

Its a application that runs on windows mobile emulator for debugging purpose.

Help appreciated as I haven't found solution for it on internet yet.

So how to debug it?

Solution 1

Check the location of executable, does the executable and all associated libraries have been uploaded to emulator. This happens when you try to debug an older version executable towards a new code base.

close all your tab in the browser just run your application only.

I wasted five long hours trying to resolve this. But, this did it for me. This is while i was under pressure to deliver on a project. i tried all sorts of suggestions to no avail. Thanks a million, Grace

browser tabs have nothing to do with symbols, instead it may give you some free memory

Solution 17

Right click on the project (not the solution) and go into properties, select "Build" from the left hand menu, from there select the right configuration if it's not already (from the dropdown at the top) and at the bottom click on "Advanced"

You will then see under "Output" a drop down to select "Debugging Information", set it to either "Full" or "Pdb-only" and that should clear things up for you.

Nine years on I am sure they have either solved it or given up.

It's for the poor sap that finds this is the same issue they are having and decides to google old codeproject answers.

We live not in a vacuum.

Solution 18

open the studio as administrator then do build->clean solution then build/rebuild
it worked fine for me.

Solution 3

Try this

set "Generate DEBUG information" to FALSE
delete /bin and /obj folder
Set "Generate DEBUG information" back to TRUE
rebuild the project

This generally occurs when the dll and the dll source code both are different
or if the .pdb file information is not matching.

Tried that and no joy. Even tried adding pdb file location through Symbols but no joy either.

mateusz.matyaszek 27-Sep-11 9:44am

Am I dreaming or there is a window in VS that shows what Symbols are loaded

Solution 4

Well solution was easier than that. I was having wrong file open (from different project because I was using search in mindless way).
