Re: No symbols have been loaded for this document


I have a solution with three projects, a C# Windows application using
a managed C++ dll (which is a wrapper for the C++ dll) and a native C+
+ dll. When I try to debug I can only set breakpoints to the C#
application and the managed C++ wrapper dll, but not in the native C++
dll project. Any breakpoints there lead to: "The breakpoint will not
currently be hit No symbols have been loaded for this document.". All
three projects generating a .pdb file which has the same date and time
as the dlls generated so its generated anytime I build the solution.
In the output window (loading symbols) and the Debug -> Windows ->
Modules window only the C# application and the managed C++ dll occur.
Calling methods from the native C++ dll work properly so the dll is
working and used properly. Why are the symbols for this dll are not
loaded and how can I get the breakpoints working?

You need to enable mixed mode debugging.
If you are debugging from the C# app's project, check "Enable unmanaged debugging"
in the project settings. If you are debugging from a C++ project, find "Debugger Type"
setting (in Project properties | Configuration Properties | Debugging) and set it
to Mixed.
