Answer 1

Are you using VS 2008 SP1? I had a lot of problems around debugging in that release, and all of them were solved by this Microsoft patch.

Breakpoints put in loops or in recursive functions are not hit in all processes at each iteration. Frequently, some processes may pass through many iterations of a loop, ignoring the breakpoint, before a process is stopped.

Breakpoints are hit, but they are not visible when you debug multiple processes in the Visual Studio debugger.

There are a few other debugger-related problems also fixed.
