Am experiencing a confusing situation where the debugging seems to skip arbitrary sections of code (including breakpoints) and then breaks on non-breakpointed lines. The call stack reports [External Code] even though its not external code
View 2 RepliesA VS 2005 VB.net forms app has suddenly started misbehaving. When I debug the debugger is jumping all over because the code is not matching. I have tried to clean both the solution and the project and rebuilding everything. I've checked I'm in debug mode. I've checked the debug settings to ensure that "require files to match..." is ticked. I also deleted all the temporary files form the solution. I even tried renaming the code file and class name of the problem file but without success. What else can I try?
View 2 RepliesAttempting to debug a VB.NET Visual Web Part I am receiving the following error message.This error happens straight after I press play and and prior to any of the code in my webpart actually executing. I have tried googling and just thinking through what this error might be referring to but can't come up with anything.
View 1 RepliesI have created a DLL that contains basic functions used in my projects. With the DLL I:Compiled it as a Release Moved the .dll file to another folder Deleted the .pdb files in the binRelease folder When I add the reference of this DLL to my projects and I debug my code, I step through line-by-line and when it comes to a function from my DLL, it actually opens up the source files of my DLL and debugs line-by-line in the DLL source code.
This is REALLY annoying for my purposes and I have tried many things now to disable the debugger stepping into my DLL code. I did a text search in the DLL file and found it stores the path of the project folder.
So far the only thing that's worked is moving/renaming the folder where the DLL project source files are. But everytime I re-build the DLL, once again I would have to move/rename the folder again as it's updated the location of the source.
Is it possible to skip a code block when a synclock is active?
For instance:
A object of class Bicycle is used by thread 1 and has a synclock on it.
Then thread 2 comes along and needs to know if the lights of the bike are working. But if there is a synclock active then thread 2 just forgets about checking the lights and goes to make a delicious chocolate pie.
When a custom class overrides the ToString() method, the C# IDE uses this function to display the class in the debug mode(tooltips, watcher etc) Does the VB.NET the same? I have impression that overriding ToString() method does change nothing. I mean, in the watcher I see Name myBusinessObjectInsnace Value {MyNamespace.myBusinessObjectInsnaceType}
View 4 RepliesI want to know how can use the just in time debugger?
View 5 Replieswhere the VS debugger refuses to show certain field types including dates.My call stack contains FunctionA which calls FunctionB. FunctionB has about 45 parameters and many of them are dates.When I step into functionA,
1. the debugger refuses to show a date variable when you hold the mouse over it. It just shows {Date} instead of a value
2. If you do quick watch on that same variable, it also just shows {Date} instead of a value
3. If I do ?variablename in the immediate window, I get "System Error &H80131c23&"
When I comment out the call to functionB, the date variables all show correctly in all the above methods. I will stress that the code has not yet reached functionB, just its very existence in code screws up the debugger.I'm thinking this is a memory issue and maybe vs debugger can't cope with a huge function stack frame dataspace.devenv is only using 268Meg of ram on a 2Meg box, with not much else running. Thats reasonable for this size of project.
I've been given an old VB.net 1.1, Visual Studio 2003, project.When debugging DateTime shows as #09:34:00 AM#, the date-part is hidden. I would like to see which date the DateTime is.I've tried to modify mcee_cs.dat, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

View 8 RepliesWe are designing a toolbar to be used in PowerShape that was originally written in VB6. We are beginning the conversion to VB.net and for some reason, when we size the new form that is the actual toolbar, we can see the size change in Design Mode but when we run the debugger it does NOT show the newly sized form. We managed to get the Width to update after clearing the Debug and Release directories but not the Height... And even then it only works once then we have to go back in and clear the directories again in order for the width to update.
View 1 RepliesIm developing several applications under Visual Studio, and now have a real nightmare in hands. When i start to debug, VS hangs completely. Windows allows me to start task admin, and close the "devenv" process.I have serious problems here. I need to deliver my projects before the deadline!
Win 7 Pro 32 bits, VS 2010 SP1, running on HP computer based on Intel i5, 4gb ram. everything works as intended, except VS. When debug crashes, the devenv process uses about 25% of CPU and 250~400Mb of ram.
I have a vb.net application that I compiled and all, I took the EXe and all and placed it on another pc that has only visual studio express on it.
When I open my .exe I get a message saying No debugger has been found, no Jit Debugger has been specified I can either select retry to find a debugger or click on cancel to forget about the debugger.
If I press cancel, my application launches correctly without any problem.
I have a program, I have published it, and I have been actually using it in my PC. Whenever it encounters an error, the JIT debugger comes out. How do I prevent it from popping up using try...catch blocks, or is there any other ways or code on how to do this?
View 3 RepliesWhen I push debug with the project I have open, it launches a previous version of the website. It keeps loading the files from somewhere else, and I can't figure out why this is happening. I'm debugging with VS2008 and my application uses VB.net code as well as asp.net coding.This is the "Default.aspx" page that it's loading (in a screenshot from debugging)(look at first image)This is what the Default.aspx page REALLY looks like in the project, and what it's supposed to look like:
(look at second image)
I've got a VB2008 Form app and I'm trying to handle all my UI exceptions in a single method that handles the Application.ThreadException event. When I build a version and run it, this handler appears to be working fine. However, in debug mode, when an exception occurs the debuggernow halts on the exception and won't progress even if I hit F5. I want it to progress onwards and let the handler do its work. That's what it used to do, though I realize the difference is now there isn't a Catch block anymore. Any way to make the debugger keep going? It's making me nervous thinking perhaps things aren't set up right.
View 1 RepliesI just recently had to rebuild my development environment from scratch. I've noticed that when I'm in debugging mode and I have a breakpoint set on a Procedure or Function, instead of stepping into that P or F, it just executes it without actually stepping thru the code. What do I need to change in my "Tools" and "Options" area?

View 4 RepliesI've got a bug in my program that I can't work out, during a paint event. The only way I can think to solve it is to watch the screen being updated one thing at a time. Problem is, I've put a break in and then I try stepping through the program one line at a time, but when I go to look at the screen it's blank - probably because I'm in the middle of a paint event? Is there some way that I can get my screen to update after each command?

I've reviewed the other posts regarding this subject. I'm using VB from Excel and the function keys are not working. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium with Office Ultimate 2007 Looks like Excel is running VB 6.5So, this used to work for me...I've used the debugger quite a bit. When I try the solutions suggested Tools->Options->Keyboard (after checking check-box to show all settings) when I click on the box just below "Apply the following additional keyboard scheme" the only item in the list is default. There is no selection for VB 6 or anything else for that matter.

View 1 RepliesI have an app I'm developing using vb/vs2010. It's an x86 app running on a 64 bit machine. It hangs when I run it in the debugger or the debug exe. When I run the Release exe, it runs fine. System memory doesn't seem to be a problem. I show 1.8 gig free after I load the Release version. I show a similar number when the debug is hanging. Just to make it all really mystifying, the debug version works if I step through it a line at a time.
