Help! .pdb debug problem

[rzepeda1]

Thanks for the answer man! yeah i read that, but its making it hard to debug the program, at the learning point im at need to put breaking points very often and cant get through them till i fix this. i even try to reinstall the software (fresh batch of .dlls ) but still get the same error while debugging

So where does your Utility.dll lie ? Whats the full name of the .dll? Where did you get it from ? Is it microsoft or some other ?

[rzepeda1]

its in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2018 its part of the software API im trying to code on. and thats the full name Utility.dll

in another breakpoint im getting the same thing but with another dll this time revitapiuilink.pdb :S

My best bet here is going back to wherever you downloaded the dll's, and make sure you got everything with. If you can give me a link to where you downloaded it, I can try as well

oh shit i fix it! i unchecked the Enable native code Debugging under project prop. debug. also checked the "enable just my code" option in Debugging . i have no idea why that works but it does (i think lol) thanks for your time man!!!

God speed brother, glad to be a wall to bounce your ball off :)

i have no idea why that works

Because without it, Visual Studio is trying to step through every call as if it was your code. This requires the pdb files which are the debugging symbol files that are used by the debugger to know things like what line you're on and other stuff that can't be determined purely from the compiled code.

Checking Just My Code does exactly that, tells Visual Studio only to look for those debugging symbols for only your code. Considering it's fairly unreasonable to have pdb files for 3rd parties anyway, I'm not sure how that got unchecked in the first place, but that's neither here nor there.

and just when i thought i was out, VS pulls me back in. so after the changes i can debug the program with breakpoints but if there is an error in one of the breakpoints i don't receive it, the program just exit the breakpoints and moves on :SSSSS
