Question

How do you set a break points in server tags in .aspx pages. e.g.

<%   dim breakhere =new object() %> 

The web application is running in debug mode with the <compilation debug='true' ... in the web.config. But the page says:

The break point will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.

Is there anything else i need to set?

Answer 1

instead of setting the breakpoint directly, you could use

<%  System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();      // more code here...       %> 

Maybe a better suggestion though is to not put inline code in your markup – instead put it in a method in the code-behind file, and then call that method from your markup. In your method in the code-behind, you can use the breakpoints as you normally would.
