.
I am in a soup of weak understanding.
May save yourself some time, by reading the next reply... as IE 8 seems to be the source of the problem.
SETUP:
I installed 3.5 ajax, IIS 7, 3.5 framework, and Visual Studio 2008, on XP PRO.
All good all functioning well, debugging (javascript, HTML, VB).
Intellisense working in all 3 languages, isn't that simply beautiful.
ERROR:
...after weeks of working great, problem with breakpoints in javascript being ignored.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
I have done everything suggested in 1 million forums, to no avail.
-
Yes, I do place a breakpoint in the VB codebehind, and it hits that one.
-
Partial list of things that I checked, or ran:
-
IE Intenet Options - Advanced
-
IIS Virtual Directory TAB
-
web.config
-
ran both commands in command window
- Project Properties, Compile
- Debug(Active)... it keeps reverting to that even though I keep setting it to 'Debug'
- I have had it see the breakpoints in javascript while switching this setting to Debug, while in a debug session. ??? was not able to duplicate that.
- Project Properties, Compile - Advanced
- Set Debug Constant checked
- Set Trace Constant checked
- Target CPU AnyCPU
- Target Framework 3.5 (All configurations)
-
Project Properties, WEB
-
Use IIS web server - checked
-
debuggers - ASP.NET checked (Native and SQL unchecked)
-
Noticed the Visual Studio Development server does not see javascript
...but I faintly remember that when I used it when I first installed, I believe it did...(may be wrong on that one)
DISCREPANCIES: (The only reason I became aware of these discrepancies is thru troubleshooting the breakpoints issue.)
-
The ASP.NET version in IIS shows 2.xxxxxx, was expecting 3.5.
Ok! I now know that 3.5 is an extension thus 2.xxx is still the base (aspnet_isapi.dll).
-
Even though I have installed IIS 7.0(and is shows correctly in the Add Programs), when I check the version under the Help-About of the IIS console, it shows 5.1
Is 7 not installed? or is the version on the IIS panel the version of the console?
QUESTIONS:
-
Did either of the commands I ran under the command window do any damage?
-
How do I know IIS 7.0 is really installed? ...given discrepancy 2.
-
Can you see anything I need to check that might resolve the issue of the breakpoints in javascript?
I am praying the answer is here, not in 4. below.
-
I am at the end of my wits on this one, and I am contemplating reinstalling!
-
I will first create a new project and rebuild one page at a time to see if I get success.
-
If 1 fails, and I do reinstall:
-
what should I UNINSTALL, ZAP, in WHAT order?
be clear as to exactly what, including whether a folder is to be removed along with its contents.
-
...and what should I INSTALL in WHAT ORDER!
-
DO I HAVE TO reINSTALL all of:
Framework(s), IIS, Visual Studio?
I can only thank you in advance.
