In Visual Studio .NET, whenever I try to debug my ASP.NET application I’m not able to stop the debugger on my breakpoints. Why?

Platform: ASP.NET|Category: Error Handling

Your ASP.NET project is not setup for debugging.

  • Open up the project’s properties window and set the “Enable ASP.NET Debugging” option.
  • Open up your web.config file and make sure the Compilation tag’s debug attribute is set to true.
<compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true" />

Make sure the account you are logged in as and the ASP.NET Worker process is in the local “Debugger Users” group.
