Everything worked normally untill yesterday. Today morning when I tried to debug java script function (in aspx), it is not hitting the debug points...

I thought debug thing is not working ..so to test I added debug points in code behind file..it is firing them..the only problem is with aspx page..

I tried the following:

Clean solution Re-Build.. close and re open visual studio.. Restart my machine.. iisreset

I am confused what might be the reason..Can anybody please help me out?

    Without seeing the code, and an example of the error, no, we really can't help. – durbnpoisn Jul 23 '14 at 16:51
  • What are you using to debug the JavaScript? I know Visual Studio *claims* to be able to do this, but personally I find browser-based debugging tools to be far more effective and reliable. – David Jul 23 '14 at 16:53
  • Iam just putting a debug point using cursor...i also tried writing 'debugger' in the very first line of that javascript function – AVSSM Jul 23 '14 at 16:55
  • @durbnpoisn..there was no error applications works fine,..its just that the debug points that were set in aspx page are not firing.. – AVSSM Jul 23 '14 at 16:56

I had the same problem recently and this checklist helped me solve my issue:

Some ideas.

  1. Make sure it's a debug build and not release
  2. Turn off optimizations in your project properties if they are on
  3. Try inserting Debugger.Break() in your code instead of a breakpoint in VS
  4. Make sure breakpoints are enabled (Debug->Windows->Breakpoints toolbar), and breakpoint symbol should be solid red circle, not a red outline of a circle
  5. Execute your application. Load Debug->Window->Modules window. Check your assembly to see if symbols are loaded. It may give a relevant status message if not.

Have you been adjusting the date on your computer at all? This can really screw up a build process. If so, delete all your obj/bin folders manually and recompile.

This was copied from the an answer found in this post: VS2012 Breakpoints are not getting hit

There are many other helpful suggestions there as well, im sure one of them should work!

In your aspx, find the tag <script runat="server">.....abx xyz... </script> then delete the content of this tag.
