I'm having a similar problem. I've verified all of the items that Robert wrote about and found them to be correct. Some specifics about my situation:

1. This is a C# application, using a Managed C++ DLL, which sometimes calls a C# DLL.
2. The problem occurs when the Managed C++ calls a function pointer. (Yes, not a delegate -- function pointers are required because we are also compiling for MacOS in this DLL.)

I am unable to step into or hit any breakpoint in the function pointed to by the function pointer -- or ANY function that it calls. Instead of stopping where I would expect, I get stopped in mscorwks.dll with the "There is no source code available for the current location" message. One level *up* on the stack trace is the function where I would have expected to stop, with the green arrow pointing to the correct line and all local variables displaying as corrected.

What's going on? Is there any workaround?

     It sounds like the symbols you have are not lining up with the binaries
     you're generating. Do the following:
     
     1. Verify that you are in debug mode and not release mode.
     2. Verify that the timestamp of the .pdb file is the same as the .dll or
     .exe that you're generating. If they are not, remove all of the binaries
     and recompile your entire solution.
     3. If the additional assemblies you are trying to debug are not part of
     your solution (i.e. other projects), go under the properties for the
     solution and be sure to include the "Debug Source Files" and "Debug
     Symbol Files" locations of the additional assemblies you're trying to debug.
