Unable to remove breakpoints -- VS 2008 Xpress

Question

Hi,

Using VS2008 Xpress on Vista Home. Having problems using debugger because old breakpoints refuse to go away. This results in having to wade thru masses of (unwanted) breakpoints before reaching the problem area that you want to debug. Have been unable to find any topics on this problem, so looks like I am the only one having it. When opening the main project, many other projects get loaded, containing aformenttioned breakpoints. Removing breakpoints with right click and delete breakpoint does not help.

Anybody any suggestions >??? thx ... steve

Hello Steve,

Your .suo file might be destoried.  The .suo file stored the information about breakpoints, Watch window variables, window layout, Opened files and other session state items. It is  a hidden file, usually named <Solution Name>.SUO.

Will you please back up the current .suo file and store it in another folder and then delete the .suo file under the solution directory?
If we then reopen the solution by clicking the .sln file, does the issue still occur?
Please note: Since we delete the .suo file, all the information it stored disappear, hence, we need to set the breakpoint again!

Best regards,
