Question

Suddenly today Visual Web Developer does not allow me to debug Silverlight applications.

This happens in 2008 and 2010 versions.

It gives no error message, just ignores all break points.

It can still debug ASP.NET applications.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Added:

Interesting: debugging works in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. Also on a new installation on a second computer it debugs in both IE and FF. Just noticed that that FF browser is still version 3.6.3.

I cleared everything in Firefox (3.6.4) but it still doesn’t debug in that browser (on two computers):

While uninstalling the Silverlight plugin I saw this:

The solution seems to be:

Regarding the debugging: I think it
would be possible to write a VS plugin
or similar to attach to the
plugin-container.exe process
automatically, however there’s a
simpler solution. You can disable the
new isolation feature in Firefox:

Type “about:config” into FF’s address
bar Accept the warning (if applicable)
Search for the entry
“dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll”
Change its value from “true” to
“false” (double-click) Restart the
browser
