Hello, I am obviously missing something here. I can not seem to get debugging to work in Visual Studio 2005. I thought it was a restriction with express edition, I was wrong. I have professional now, and still, nothing. When I try to run in debug-mode, it says that the "binary was not built with debug information." I have however set it to debug-mode, not release.

FernandoSoto,
I have already set this to debug.
Active Solution Configuration: Debug
Project -> Configuration: Debug
Yet still, it says it contains no debug information. I have tried several fresh installs and this always seems to happen. I have installed Visual Studio (Express and Professional) on separate computers even, and it always does this to me. It is like there is some setting it is always failing to install properly or something.
Are you using IE?
If so, do the following:
Select Internet Options from the Tools Menu.
Click the Security tab.
Select 'Local Intranet', then click on the sites button.
Uncheck the 'Automatically detect intranet network' checkbox.
The 3 checkboxes which become enabled should be checked.
I had this happen to me and it took me days to find out what was wrong.
Hope this helps,
Karl
TelTel, that fixed the problem, partially. Is there any way that I can make it do this by default for all projects?
As for the partially... Well, it no longer warns me about no debugging information. However, I have set break-points (via F9) and started the debugging (F5), yet while I have set break-points on the first lines of the program, it never pauses for me.
No, I hadn't, I sort of figured you posted that in the wrong area. It didn't sound like anything that would affect VS. However, I just tried and it did not help.
Here is something I can add, however:
When I do run in debug-mode now, all my break-points turn disabled. They also show a warning, "This break-point will not be hit No symbols have been loaded for this document."

Hi List244;
Check to see if you have a menu option Configuration Manager under the main menu Build.
If you do not have that option then do the following.
Click on main menu Tools
Click on Options...
Expand Project and Solutions on the left side of the window
Place a check mark next to the item, "Show advanced build configuration"
Click on the OK button at the bottom of the window
Now go to the main menu Build and click on Configuration Manager
At the top of the window set the combo box to Debug.
That should be it.
Fernando
