But for as long as I have used these tools, my Visual Studio debugger has only worked partly.

The problem

When I inserted some breakpoints in my code, the first one was almost all the time hit. However, when I tried to step through the code, it worked fine for a bout 3-6 steps. But then Visual Studio debugger decided that was enough, and just completed the code.

The good thing was, it forced me to write many unit test cases, but sometimes I really think it is nice to visually see the state of your objects, in the code.

I have spoken to colleagues, and tested with different combinations of Gallio, Testdriven.NET and Re-sharper enabled, as I thought they cased the problem. But the debugger just kept bugging me. I had actually given up finding a solution to this problem, thinking that Visual Studio 2010 would fix it.

The solution

So finally, in a complete other context, I stumbled upon this page:

http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB957912

And thought…. that title sounds interesting… I quickly moved to the KB article, and started to read. I thought, that sounds exactly as my problem.

With nothing to loose I installed the update, and started to test the debugger… until now it seems to work :)

- please note, I do not use the debugger that often as I write very reliable code :)

In this video we learn how to use Visual Studio 2005 to debug ASP.NET AJAX applications. We are shown how the ScriptManager is used to access the JavaScript created by the ASP.NET AJAX server controls, and we also see how to use the Sys.Debug class to insert a trace message and a breakpoint.
