Visual Studio loading symbols

Question

I\'m working on a ColdFusion project for a while now, and Visual Studio started to behave strange for me at least.

I observed that when I started debugging, it built

Answer 1

My 2 cents,

I was having a similar problem while trying to get a (Visual Studio 2013) Diagnostics Report in x64 Release Mode (CPU Sampling) and while the symbols for the needed dll files were loaded, the symbols for my executable would fail to load.

I didn't change anything in the Symbols menu, I instead made some changes within the Property Pages of my executable's thread in the Solution Explorer, namely

Configuration Properties / General / Enable Managed Incremental Build to YES

Configuration Properties / Debugging / Merge Environment to NO

Configuration Properties / C/C++ / Enable Browse Information to YES (/FR)

Configuration Properties / Linker / Enable Incremental Linking to YES (/INCREMENTAL)

EDIT : This last one does the trick

....

Configuration Properties / Linker / Debugging / Generate Debug Info to Yes (/DEBUG)

....

After that it worked and it loaded the symbols fine. I'm sure one or more of the above did the trick for me (although I'm not sure exactly which) and just want to let others know and try this..

peace
