RE: VS 2005 won't hit breakpoints when debugging an executable

Thanks for your reply Steve.

The executable we are debugging is unmanaged and produced using a Modula 2
compiler. The DLL is managed and produced using Visual Studio 2005.

The DLL was only mentioned to explain why I am using Visual Studio to debug
the Modula 2 application. The DLL type is irrelevant in regards to the
problem. The problem still occurs when the Modula 2 application does not
load the DLL.

If required I can supply a sample Modula 2 executable and provide details to
illustrate the debugging differences between Visual Studio 2003 and 2005.

Hello Steve,

From your description, you're debugging an exe application which reference
a separate managed assembly. Since you've the debugging info (symbol and
source) of the assembly, you want to perform source code debugging against
the class library assembly. However, you found the debugging has some
problem(break point not hit) in VS 2005 while it works in VS 2003, correct?

For the exeutable, is it also an .net managed application or an unmanaged
application that use interop to call the managed class library assembly?
If it is a managed application and it is originally built under VS
2003/.NET 1.1, you need to rebuild it with VS 2005 under .net framework
2.0. Is this the case? Or if both the exeutable and dll are unmanaged
binary?

Please feel free to let me know if there is anything I missed here.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
