Hi,

I have a strange one here. I am using VB.Net 2008. For some reason my breakpoint is not working. Where it gets strange is that it only seems to be affecting one form. I can put a breakpoint on this form, it ignores it. Even changed some code, ignored it i.e. put a message box in. On the other forms works no problem.

Any ideas before I put my foot through the monitor.

Afraid that never worked. Even tried an earlier version of the project.

Hi,

The reason was that for some reason your source code is different from the original version.

To allow the breakpoint to be hit when the source code is different, you right click on the breakpoint, choose location..., and turn on Allow the source code to be differenet from the orginal version.

To allow this for all breakpoints, disable the option 'require source files to exactly match the original version' under Tools, Option, Debugging, General.

Hope this helps.

I just happened to get the same problem, and after a good one hour trying to solve the problem, I discovered what was the problem for me. When testing my solution I change the date on the computer and at the same time made a build with different date. After that change date back to the previous.

After changing back the date I got all the time this message. Solution waste delete all files VS is creating during the debug or build from the debug and release directories. Now the debugging was working as normal again.

Hope nobody else need to use hours to find this out.
