visual studio .net ide: HI, i have this dll that i am using in my project. Whenever i would step
into the method of the dll object, it would automatically open the source
file and step into the correct line of code so i could debug in it. Now it
won't do it.

Anyone know why and what has changed?

thanks

Without more detailed info about this issue, I cannot assume what changed
in your machine, will the debugging info of your startup application be
corruptted by any chance?


Thanks!

I have a different developer who is trying to step into this dll that i have
copied to his system. I have a separate project that contains the source
code and builds this dll on my box. I have copied the source files to his
computer and have added the folder path to his solution's debug source files
paths.

My solution doesn't have this path in debug source files.

actually, this is a separate question. I am wondering why he can't step into
the code of the dll. He has the source code but he can't step into it. as
detailed in the previous message, what is missing from his implementation to
get that working?

Hi,

Does the developer have the project used to create the DLL itself?

You could not step into a source file when the debugger hasn't loaded the
debug information for that dll where the code is located. So it appears
that dll doesn't contained the necessary debug symbol info for debugging.
You may need to provide that dll's debug symbol infomation file to that
developer, such as the corresponding .pdb (program database) file which
holds debugging and project state information.

Please refer to the following MSDN docs for the details:
