Hi,
Environment: Server 2008 SP2 (64-bit), VS 2008 SP1, IIS7, SQL Server Exp 2005, Dotnet 3.5 SP1, ASP.NET MVC 1.0
I have a simple C# ASP.NET MVC solution based on the tutuorial at http://www.asp.net/learn/mvc/?lang=cs.
I had trouble debugging it from the start. With built-in (Cassini) server, whenever I hit F5, VS crashed.
So I ported the application to IIS7. This stopped the F5 crashing.
However, some breakpoints are completely ignored and Step Into(F11) sometimes acts like F10 (Step Over).
When F11 works, I usually see an assembly language page. Sometimes when I Step Out of the assembly code, an Open File dialog appears asking to locate the .cs file the debugger is attempting to load. Every time I've done this (located the file), I get a message stating that the code in the file I've located does not match the one used in the application.
If I look at the Modules tab after beginning debug, many of the PDB files for the system are not found or are not the correct version.
This is despite the fact that I have paths in the tools/options/debugger/symbols to locations where I have downloaded symbols and source matching my environment (from http://referencesource.microsoft.com/netframework.aspx).
If anyone has a clue, please help.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I suspect there are some settings incorrect in your Visual Studio. Can you please followng instructions in the link as below to setup the source debugging from scratch?

If the symbol is still not loaded correctly, please right click on the module and select to view the symbol load information. Check the paths and compare them with your symbol cache path. You'd better copy one of them here.

Hi Hongye,

Thanks.
I did everything in the blog, and things have improved.

Several things remain a problem.

All breakpoints in Global.asax.cs are ignored.
If I attempt to Step-in(F11) at certain breakpoints for example at:
   

this._MovieSet = base.CreateQuery<Movie>("[MovieSet]");

cause a warning dialog that ultimately ends up doing nothing or displaying disassembly (because of lack of symbols and source).

Dialog:
Microsoft Visual Studio Warning
Message:
"The debugger must execute this untrusted command to obtain source code from source server"
sd.exe -p DDRTSD:4000 print -o "C:\Users\mike\AppData\Local\SOURCE~1Command:
\DEVDIV\depot\DevDiv\releases\Orcas\SP\ndp\fx\src\DataEntity\System\Data\Objects\ObjectContext.cs\4\ObjectContext.cs" -q //depot/DevDiv/releases/Orcas/SP/ndp/fx/src/DataEntity/System/Data/Objects/ObjectContext.cs#4

Message continued:
"If the symbol file is not from a Known....."
Buttons:
Run    Don't Run

The path in the command "C:\Users\mike\AppData\Local\SOURCE~1\DEVDIV\depot\DevDiv\releases\Orcas\SP\ndp\fx\src\DataEntity\System\Data\Objects\ObjectContext.cs\4\" exists, but the folder is empty (no ObjectContext.cs). There is also no symbol information, so I can only elect for disassembly.

In the above case I am attempting to see the code that interacts with SQL Server.

Thanks again.

Mike

Hi Mike,

For the security warning, please check the security note in the link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms242029.aspx. You should add untrusted pdb file into srcsrv.ini file.

For breakpoints in Global.asax.cs, can you let me know what method you put the breakpoint in?

Since some events in global will only be executed in start or stop of the service, you have to restart the iis service to trigger those events like application_start.

Hi Hongye,

Strange the security warning is not appearing now, and I did not modify srcsrv.ini
However, a dialog is now opening asking for the location of ObjectContext.cs.
If I skip it (Cancel), the call stack reads:

>    System.Data.Entity.dll!System.Data.Objects.ObjectContext.CreateQuery<MovieApp.Models.Movie>(string queryString = "[MovieSet]", System.Data.Objects.ObjectParameter[] parameters = {System.Data.Objects.ObjectParameter[0]}) Line 1005    C#


If I attempt to download the symbols from the Microsoft Servers, it attempts to find "Anonymously Hosted DynamicMethods Assembly" and fails.
A disassembly is displayed.


No breakpoints work in Global.asax.cs.
I've restarted IIS, and the application pool, then Hit F5.

    public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication

    {

        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)

        {

            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");



[BREAKPOINT]
    routes.MapRoute(

                "Default",                                              // Route name

                "{controller}/{action}/{id}",                           // URL with parameters

                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }  // Parameter defaults

            );



        }



        protected void Application_Start()

        {

[BREAKPOINT]
    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);

        }

    }

}

Mike
