Question

I have one C# windows form application under visual studio 2010,when I click debugging(F5) it build and run.
Then I click stop debugging,and click debugging again,this time nothing happen,the debugging icon(green arrow)turn dim and back to original again.

I try to restart the computer,visual studio and create a new solution then add old form and file to it,but it is still same.I keep click debugging and sometime it works,sometime not.I put several break points at my main form load and program.cs but it not even go into it.

I can run the build exe several time without any problem,or using run without debugging.

I found that create new solution and debug will work,but when I close visual studio and reload that solution again the debugging problem comes out.
I try to reset all visual studio settings but the problem still comes out.

Please help!

are you using COM or multithreading? Most likley your process doesn't shut down... if you run it without the visual studio host process, everything is fine?

no COM no multithreading.
I just create a new solution which contain a single form only but same problem.

Long shot - but have you checked the event logs for anything odd?

Tuolesi, Double clicking helped when I faced this issue in real time in Visual Studio 2010, when debugger did not open suddenly. Thanks.

Solution 1

Are you sure your program is shutting down all the way? Check the task manager to make sure.
