I recently lost the ability to step through Javascript code without having a separate [dynamic] window containing the same file pop up while debugging. This is extremely annoying for several reasons, of which the primary three are:

  1. I frequently make edits to the [dynamic] window by accident, where they are ignored.
  2. Debugging tooltips do not work in the [dynamic] window.
  3. Pressing F12 to jump to a variable/function definition does not work.

I came across an old post addressing this issue but none of the proposed solutions helped. I know what I want is possible because only a month ago my Visual Studio did not behave like this.

I am using VS 2017.

You could enable the option "Enable JavaScript debugging for ASP.NET(Chrome and IE)" under TOOLS->Options->Debugging.

And then debug your app with breakpoint in your JavaScript, view the result in your side.

  • It IS enabled, and I still get thrown into the dynamic window for debugging. This solution worked in VS 2019, but I just upgraded to VS 2022, and now it doesn't work. – KWallace Jun 17 '22 at 21:03

Check if not then enable the option "Enable JavaScript debugging for ASP.NET(Chrome and IE)" under TOOLS->Options->Debugging in VS 2017

Then debug with Chrome browser ( or IE) like :

Now if you add break point in your .js file it will work.
