I’ve set a breakpoint in my asp.net app running on my local IIS (http://localhost) and .NET simply ignores it. I took a look at the web.config fiel and it says “”. I also check on Just-In-Time debugging under TOOLS, Options. And the Help file doesn’t help !

Here are a few things to check:
1) Are you running the project using the “Start” command (Debug | Start)? This is the only way to actually debug. It took me a while to figure this out… Before learning this, I thought I could simply run the site in a browser without actually “starting” the project…2) Check the Project Properties dialog (Project | Properties), click the Debugging option, located under the Configuration Propreties group. Make sure ASP.NET Debugging is checked.
3) There’s also a Debug=True/False option in the page directive of each ASPX page. You don’t actually need to set it to True, just as long as it’s not set to False.
4) Finally, make sure you have created an Application for the web folder or virtual directory in IIS. Right-click the folder, select properties, select the Directory tab, click the Create button. (If you see the Remove button, then it’s already done.)
Hope this helps!
