title: visual studio 2010 breakpoint no symbols have been loaded
body: <p>I really have a problem, I have a VS 2010 solution and it suddenly stopped debugging for referenced projects, I just can debug the start up project but not the added as reference. This is weird because I created a new solution, added two projects and then I debugged in both successfully, did that in order to see if my VS config was wrong, but nop, It's something on this particular solution that is not allowing me to debug referenced projects.  </p>
  
  <p>I've read all possible solutions from this forum and other sources like Microsoft. If I go to menu Debug -> windows -> Modules the ones I want to debug are not in the list. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Sdcbr.jpg" alt="screen 1 my running modules"></p>
  
  <p>so, I read a Microsoft's page saying how to manually load symbols, I did the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>To specify a directory where symbol files are located</p>
    
    <p>On the Tools menu, choose Options.</p>
    
    <p>In the Options dialog box, open the Debugging node and then click
    Symbols.</p>
    
    <p>On the Symbols page, there is a box that states Symbol file (.pdb)
    locations. Above the box are four icons.</p>
    
    <p>Click the folder icon.</p>
    
    <p>Editable text appears in the Symbol file (.pdb) locations box.</p>
    
    <p>Type the directory path. Statement completion helps you find the
    correct format.</p>
    
    <p>If you are doing remote debugging, symbol files and symbol server
    caches for managed code must be located on the remote computer. Symbol
    files and symbol server caches for native code must be located on the
    local computer.</p>
    
    <p>If you are using symbols on a remote symbol server, you can improve
    performance by specifying a local directory that symbols can be copied
    to. To do this, type a path in the Cache symbols in this directory
    box. If you are debugging a program on a remote computer, the cache
    directory refers to the directory on the remote computer.</p>
    
    <p>Click OK.</p>

  <p>That didn't work, I still can't see the modules I want to load so.. any ideas my friends ?</p>
