My Debugger stopped working abruptly. Error message =
"? The breakpoint will not be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document".

How do I get it working again? I can't find this error message mentioned the on-line docs. Any clues would be appreciated.
 
Did you actually build your project with debugging symbols turned on (i.e., using the "Debug" build configuration rather than the Release one).
 
Problem Solved. Config Release vs Debug

Problem Solved. Just confirming. Thanks for the fix, fellows !

I had left my CONFIGURATION MANAGER setting at RELEASE, and this apparently disables the debugger. I set it back to DEBUG, this fixed the problem.

I wish the messages in VB.NET were more specific. Error numbers with a look-up reference would help.
 
There you go then. When you omit debug symbols from a build, there is nothing to tell the debugger whereabouts in source code you are.
