I can't debug my silverlight application anymore

Question

Hi

I can't debug my silverlight application anymore! No breakpoint is hit when I run the web application as I used to do. Breakpoints take a warning sign saying that no symbols were loaded. It all worked nicely before, what I can do to make it work? I got no debugger errors, app runs fine.

I though it could be an website I created in IIS 5 to use IIS hosting, but I get along with VS development server. Now I deleted this website.

Another thing is, as I use chrome as the default browser, I tried to switch to IE, then I made so. But even restarting VS and Windows, VS always launches chrome! Why is that?

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 RC on Windows XP SP3, using VS dev server, Silverlight 3. I already cleaned browser's cache, cookies, etc, and reset VS settings.

 

TIA

Answer 1

Hello,

Please open you module window (Debug -> Windows -> modules) and check if pdb file for silverlight project is loaded.
By default, Visual Studio will automatically search the path where the silverlight dll is located. But in case you have a symbol server, you could tell Visual Studio where to find the pdb files by right click the module name and select Symbol Settings. If your module is from FCL, you need to configure Visual Studio to load symbols from Microsoft symbol servers, that's a different story. Currently, you could follow the detail steps here to specify a symbol path. If it persists, please provide a screen shot of  the modules window for further discuss.

You need to set IE as the Default browser. Please right click a .aspx page and select Browse With in context menu, select Internet Explorer browser on the left and then click Set as Default button.

Best regards

I had issues with this too, which were basically because an old version of the XAP was stuck in the browser cache. Workaround described at:
