Trying to debug an web application and I haven't been able to get breakpoints to works as I see a message saying "the breakpoint will not currently be hit." I have gone and looked at answers only to have none of them work for me. See one thread I looked at.
Secondly, I have tried to send messages to my output window only for them to not go there, see "Debug.WriteLine("SQL: " + sql);" I tried Trace and Console and still nothing.
Also note the same thing is happening in both environments I have VS installed in and one version is 2022 and then other is 2017. It feels like I am missing a setting and yet I haven't found it. If I install VS on my own personal laptop, it works fine. It is just the versions I use at work for a client.

Hi @Brown, Matt ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Please try to reset VS settings and clean your project/VS cache.
For resetting VS settings, see this document for details: Reset settings or /ResetSettings (devenv.exe).
For cleaning project cache, please backup related files, and then remove .vs, obj and bin folders(and some other files/folders that you think they are cache) > rebuild your project > debugging. Try to remove and recreate the related web pages/files if possible.
For cleaning VS cache, please go to this directory: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_XXXXXXXX(17.0 for VS 2022, 15.0 for VS 2017), remove all folders called ComponentModelCache(backup them before you remove them just in case).
I tried everything although I don't think I found all of the files in third step. I still have the same issues. Is there a number I can contact to get a more one-on-one live support option? I use MS Teams so I could do both versions of VS and maybe walk through this issue even faster.
I need to get admin access so I can see the AppData folder in that location. I tried the other steps and I still have the same issues. I did remove a bin folder, but I got error messages when I rebuilt the website. I added it back in and the errors went away. I didn't see folders for .vs or obj offhand. Do you have the directories for those three folders?
Hi @Brown, Matt ,
.vs folder is a hidden folder you need to check Hidden items option in Windows File Explorer > View, and normally it is stored in your solution folder, together with obj folder and bin folder.
Besides, please check if this doc: "No Symbols have been loaded for this document" helps. But I suspect the issue is caused by your specific system environment. Maybe something blocked the debugger? Is there any rule/limitation on your machine?
Is there a number I can contact to get a more one-on-one live support option?
Perhaps you can consider raising a ticket: Support for business.
