VS2012 Breakpoints are not getting hit

by

Some ideas.

  1. Make sure it’s a debug build and not release
  2. Turn off optimizations in your project properties if they are on
  3. Try inserting Debugger.Break() in your code instead of a breakpoint
    in VS
  4. Make sure breakpoints are enabled (Debug->Windows->Breakpoints toolbar), and breakpoint symbol should be solid
  5. Execute your application. Load Debug->Window->Modules window. Check your assembly to see if symbols are loaded. It may give a relevant status message if not.

Have you been adjusting the date on your computer at all? This can really screw up a build process. If so, delete all your obj/bin folders manually and recompile.
