title: VS 2008 breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document
body: <p>I am struggling to overcome this obstacle and I have high hopes that someone on SO can help.  </p>

  <p>When I set a breakpoint in my <em>class library</em> project.  It appears as a normal breakpoint.  When I start debugging my solution the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5557y8b4(v=vs.90).aspx" rel="noreferrer">breakpoint becomes hollowed out and has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point</a> inside.  The tooltip displayed when I pan over the breakpoint is, "<strong>The Breakpoint will not currently be hit. No Symbols have been loaded for this document.</strong>"</p>
  
  <p>This project is not an ASP.NET application, it is simply a winForms application.</p>
  
  <p>I have taken over an existing winForms application with multiple projects in the solution.  I have the project built and running in debug mode.  I can stop at breakpoints in some projects but, I am unable to hit the breakpoints in other projects specifically my project that is of type <em>class library</em>.  </p>
  
  <p><strong>What I have done thus far:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I have deleted all debug and release folders, </li>
  <li>I have deleted the obj folder, and have rebuilt the solution afterwards.</li>
  <li>I have restarted the VS2008 IDE.</li>
  <li>I have restarted my computer.</li>
  <li>I checked the Configuration Manager for the solution to ensure that my <em>class project</em> is included in the debug build, and it is.</li>
  <li>I have checked the debug/modules for dll, although I am not trying to reference a dll.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Furthermore, I have followed the troubleshooting steps outlined in the SO posts:</strong></p>

  <p>All of the posts I have read have been very informative, but none of the suggested solutions have fit my specific needs.  Please let me know if more information is warranted.  I have more links I can provide as references to what has not worked.  As well as additional steps I have taken to attempt to solve this issue.</p>
  
  <p>I am posting this follow-up to keep everyone aprised.  I followed @Hans @ suggestion to call the project file in question.</p>
  
  <p>I placed a dim frm as form = new ProjectInQuestion.FormInQuestion</p>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <p>this now has the assembly loading in the debug--> Windows->Modules</p>
  
  <p>The new problem is more perplexing than my original issue.  My breakpoints look fine, but are being skipped. There are no error evident at the breakpoint.</p>
