Question

I’m trying to debug an ASP.NET web application in this environment:

• Windows Server Standard 2008 SP2 x64
• Single-core CPU
• 4GB RAM
• Visual Studio 2008 with Remote Debugger SP1
• .NET 3.5 Web Application running in IIS in 64-bit mode

The code I am trying to debug is a simple event handler with some basic sequential code.
What I observe is that breakpoints get randomly ignored and VS often exits debug mode when I try to step through the code.
The code is compiled in debug mode.

EventViewer shows no warning or error messages that would relate to this. I am certain that this is not caused by IIS app pool recycle/reset.

I’ve tried all the usual steps: iisreset, reboot VM, rebuild solution, reinstall Visual Studio.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Could not find a solution.

Worked around this behaviour by using a combination of Debug.Print() and Sysnternals DebugView

Hope this helps.
