Debugging doesn't start [closed]

Answer 1

This solution has already been mentioned but it took some tinkering to make it work so here is a clear solution

1. On the Project menu/tab, click Properties. (or on your solution explorer)
2. Click the Debug tab.
3. Clear the Enable the Visual Studio hosting process check box.(uncheck it)
4. Check if it works.

If it does not restart your computer (some of the projects files run in the background if you know how to stop them then restarting is not necessary just end their tasks) rebuild the project

this should solve the problem

Answer 2

Sorry to bring up an old question but I had the same problem today, but the reason was actually because of the build order of the solution. If you go into the Solution Property Pages -> Common Properties -> Startup Project.
The ensuring Multiple startup projects is selected, move the web project to the top of the list.

In my web application solution I have 2 web projects and 5 code projects, one of my code projects was at the top, and as such debug would not start.

Hope others find this helpful

Answer 3

Verify that in your Project -> Properties -> Debug tab -> Start Action sections that "Do not launch, but debug my code when it starts" is not checked. Somehow this got checked months after I created and had been working on my project.

Unchecking this solved my problem.

Answer 4

This process generally works for me:

• Close IE
• Use Task Manager to check that all instances of iexplore.exe have gone -- kill any remaining 'orphan' instances.
• Start IE from the start menu and make sure it starts up correctly.
• Clear Internet Explorer's cache & cookies and restart.
• Close Visual Studio to ensure all locks are released.
• IISReset
• Restart VS
• Clean the project/solution
• Recompile and it should work

Answer 5

close your project then delete all files on yourproject\bin\Debug\ folder to make new debug solution

Answer 6

Hold the F5 key until you see that the debugging started, I'm serious guys.
