? Breakpoint problem
 

OK, this is insane. Me and 2 other people have been working constantly on our large program AutoSS (for work). And just yesterday and junior programmer using the application (on a day to day bases) comes to me and my friend with a printed out unhandled exception. Giving us a process ID and such. Well we never had this problem before performing the specific task. Well when i came into work this morning i immediatly attempted to troubleshoot the issue. Well when i insert a Breakpoint it's all fine and dandy until i run the application causing the nice red breakpoint circle to contain a question mark within in. My friend tells me this is to the Assemblies not lining up in memory or something? Anyway we have no clue what is going on here and have no work around for it. So as of right now it is tremendously slowing down production causing chaos and panic. Thanks for your time!

I had this problem once, kind of... basically what I was doing wrong was my application was linking with othr assemblies there were part of the project. Only when I was debugging some assemblies were being compiled without debugging information and some assemblies were compiled with desbugging information. Well this causes a BIG problem. First off is that debugging simply will not work an assemblies without debugging info compiled and, and as it ends up objects are complete different between debug and optimized assemblies, you can not cast the same object across two assemblies if they are not compiled in the same manner because the object interfaces are different.

So in your opinion what should be done to resolve this issue?

Have you made sure all of your code got re-compiled in debug mode. Not having the specified component get the debug flag is the most common cause of the ? for me.

If not that does this chunk of code get compiled into a dll instead of into the execution. That's my second main viewage of the ?.
