Breakpoints not working on Windows CE 6.0 , Module not loaded
sjstone
targets a Windows CE 6.0 SDK emulator. It is running on the .net Compact
Framework 2.0 SP1. After I add a breakpoint in Visual Studio and run the
application in debug mode, the breakpoint becomes disabled with a warning
triangle. If I mouse-over the breakpoint, I get a message that says "The
breakpoint will not currently be hit. The specified module has not been
loaded." If I pause the debugger when it is running the application, I
receive an alert box saying "No symbols are loaded for any call stack frame.
The source code cannot be displayed".
I've written a native C++ application that is similar to this one in
functionality and the Visual Studio debugger worked fine. I can also add a
line of code into the C# application "System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break( )"
and the debugger breaks at the line and I can step through it, but I
shouldn't have to code this. Setting a breakpoint in the IDE should work.
Can someone tell me how to make the debugger in Visual Studio 2005 work with
a .net app running on a Windows CE 6.0 SDK emulator? Is the Windows CE 6 OS
Design and SDK missing something?

Framework 2.0 SP1 patch, which upgrades the SDK in Visual Studio 2005 to SP1.

Also my WinCE 6.0 emulator is running the .NET Compact Framework SP2, which
was added through the Platform Builder monthly update for March 2007 at:

I don't know why the SP1 patch was required in Visual Studio 2005 to enable
normal debugging in .NET projects, but it continuously disabled the
breakpoints until I installed the patch, and it is working now. If someone
can explain the problem and why this solved it, I would love to hear it.
