C# Visual Studio 2005 full set of 'DEBUG' buttons missing in taskbar

Hello everyone,

This should be a simple one.

Visual studio 2005 is running fine, but I don't see some of the Debug Buttons
that I was used to in the VS2003 version.

I tried adding them to the task bar - but I don't see the category.

Maybe some else has fixed this too.

Thanks

Maybe I am not understanding you right since I don't have vs2005, but aren't you looking for the toolbars?

you can set them visible or not by going in the menu -> view -> toolbars -> debug

isn't that it, or am I missing something?

Hello paygo,

you can also customize the toolbar
if you rightclick on the toolbar, on the toolbar tab be sure to check the debug box, then goto the commands tab and again in the first list choose debug no on the right listbox all debug commands appear and you can add them to the debug toolbar

hope this helps a bit and a happy new year!

Here's the correct answer - for my question

1 - Go to the existing toolbar and cursor overto the DEBUG options - Right Click

2 - A large drop down menu appears - At the bottom select customize.

3 - A new list box appears - make sure the COMMANDS TABn is clicked.

4 - Two panes appear: Left Pane CATEGORIES Right Pane COMMANDS

5 - from the Left Pane select 'Debug' - and all the possible Debug Icons / Symbols
appear in the COMMANDS Pane (right Pane)

6 - Now 'Drag and Drop' and Icon/Symbol on to your Debug Toolbar (up top)

Thanks everyone for the help - I 'll split up the points
