Cannot enter the project to debug mode

Question

Hi

I have a project that was download from the net. It is a open source project. I can run without anyerror with IDE 2005. But i cannot enter the debug mode. I have set the project build to debug. But i cannt still enter to debug.

I also got the following message when i run the project.

/////////////////////

The following module was built with optimizations enabled or without debug information :

E:\Project.exe

To debug this module, change its project build configuration to debug mode. To suppress this message, disable the "Warn inf no user code on launch" debugger option


////////////////////

Answer 1

Ensure that the optimization is disabled to allow debug.

 

Project Properties -> Compile Tab -> Advanced Compilation Options -> Enable Optimization checkbox should be unchecked.

 

Depending upon which versions of VB your using (Express or pay version) there may be a Build config combobox to set to Debug Build Type or release, ensure this is set to Debug.

THe tab will be there in any 2005 project

 

In solution Explorer -> select the project, right click mouse -> properties

 

Compile Tab will be the 2nd tab shown.

This error also occurs when you forgetfully "Debug\Attach to Process" and the process is not the same build as the code you are in. (VS08)

Answer 5

I have the solution for this ,

 

1) Delete the obj and bin folder of your project

2) Right Click Project > Properties > Compile > Advaced Compile Options

3) Set the "Generate Debug Info" combo to "none"

4) Build the Project

5) Delete the obj and bin folder of your project

6) Set the "Generate Debug Info" combo to "Full"

7) Rebuild the project

 

now place the break point and run , it will be hit

Answer 6

I was having the same problem to find and set debug and release modes in my C#.2005 Express Edition.  None of source or MSDN information has this documented.  I finally found my solution.  I don't understand why Microsoft has it disabled by default for Express edition.  In order to enable it, you need to do the followings:

1. Tools -> Options
2. Insure "Show all settings" (in the lower left) is checked; otherwise, you won't see #3
3. Navigate to "Projects and Solutions"
4. On the right pane, enable or check "Show advance build configurations."

After that, you will see an "extra" menu on your toolbar shown up.  From it, you can select either Debug or Release mode, or even go to "Configuration Manager" directly.

It is what I did to configure my Express edition but I am not sure if it is the same to the Professional edition.

Hope that it helps.

Hi,

I am also having the same problem but it is with VS 2008.

error message is :----------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The following module was built either with optimizations enabled or without debug information:

 

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\pceconsole\bd3fb4ae\b0805359\assembly\dl3\27635de8\567ab59b_09f1ca01\PCEConsoleBusiness.DLL

 

To debug this module, change its project build configuration to Debug mode. To suppress this message, disable the 'Warn if no user code on launch' debugger option.
---------------------------
OK

Let me know the solutions.
