Visual Studio 2008 is ignoring my break points all of a sudden. I'm running Visual Studio 2008 with the SP1 installed. If I run a different website (all local) the break points are not ignored.

In my web.config I have:

<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true">

For the life of me I cannot see why it would all of a sudden not work and I really need those break points.

Also, if I change debug to either true or false there is not difference. Break points are always ignored.

I have a page with nothing on it and in the code behind's onLoad I set a BP, when I hit F5 Firefox loads and the page runs as if there were no BP.

I then added a button and in onClick for the button I inserted a BP. Again, there is no stopping. The page loads and runs as if they weren't there.

After setting 

<compilation debug="false"

and then hitting F5 (Start Debugging) VS should have asked to change the web.config to allow debugging. But, it did not.

I have also created a new website, copied my all my site files to the new folder and I get the same results.

I really need your help. Thanks.

Have you tried explicitly attaching to your webserver process?

Also, try clearing out your temporary asp.net files.

Usually works for me.
