Whenever I call Item.DownloadFile(string localFileName) or VersionControlServer.DownloadFile(string serverPath, string localFileName) I get a FileNotFoundException whenever I try to debug in Visual Studio: Could not find file 'C:[Project Path]\bin\Debug\[ProjectName].vshost.exe.config'.
When I build the application and run it outside of visual studio there is no problem calling these functions. It works perfectly fine. Anyone know what could be causing it?
Before you ask, no, that file does not exist. I'm not doing anything with a config file, I don't need or want it to exist. I don't understand why it is even trying to access that file when I debug. When I run the application outside of visual studio that .config file still does not exist but I get no exception because it's not trying to access that file.
Also, it is not a vshost problem either. When I uncheck "Enable the Visual Studio hosting process" I get the same exception except when debugging but the file name changes from "[ProjectName].vshost.exe.config" to "[ProjectName].config"
Currently, when I want to debug this project I have to put a MessageBox.Show( ) function right after every call to DownloadFile( ) and run my application outside of visual studio. When that MessageBox is displayed then I can use attach to process and put a break point on the next line after that MessageBox, click OK on the messagebox and then it will catch the break point. But when I'm downloading files in a loop and want to debug the loop it's extremely annoying and time consuming to attach to process after DownloadFile is called, stop debugging before the next DownloadFile is called, attach to process again after DownloadFile is called, and keep repeating that all day long.
I'm not totally sure, but looks like it has something to do with the current path and the Workspace where you download the file to.
If you don't explicitly specify the workspace, the TFS API will try to determine it from the current path of your application by looking if that path is declared in a Workspace as a Mapping.
If I remember correctly, you can download an item from a Workspace object (or specify the Workspace in the operation), try to modify your code to do that and see if it's better.
You can also try to change the current path of your debugging session to something "inside a Workspace"

Cant stop my project in visual studio 2015. stop debugging button is disabled also i cant close my application.stop debugging button disables
When i closing my application that message is showing
I had the same issue when I used some external methods from a system dll.
The code started to execute the external method but it never terminated and the whole thing stucked. I wasn't able to stop it, even in task manager. Every time the code called that problematic ext method, I had to restart my computer to stop it.
Try to find something like this, and disable the call. If you can stop the debugging after that, then it is the problem.
(If you want to know: It was the system32.dll and the problem was caused by a wrong HDD driver.)
OMG!
when run projects in vs they just show up and disappear instantly
all of project's are c# console app and i ran them before and that was okay
i've try to reset all setting and that didnt work
If you want your console app to whait for input you can put that at the end of your main method
Console.ReadLine();
Then you need to hit enter to exit the console app.
Another possibility while debugging would be to add a breakpoint at the end of your main method.
It was set to something wrong.
Project start up was set to single project, not current project.
I want to be able to browse the source and set a debug point without having to hunt for a way to get the file open. I know you can open the original source and detach/reattach the debugger but that is a pain to do every time you run.
If you remember the name of the method you want to debug by heart, you can Add New Breakpoint (Ctrl+B) and type "MyClassName.MyMethodName" (enter). That will put a breakpoint in the beginning of that method, and when you run, as soon as it's hit, the file will open.
I tried the following steps in order to debug a particular custom timer ( installed and activated):
Copied the both .dll and .pdb files in the GAC.
Restarted the timer services.
Attached both w3wp and OWSTimer.exe processes.
But the debugging is still not taking place. The debugger placed is empty circle which displays this message:
The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.
The OWSTimer is shown in a diff username. Does It needs to be run from my account?
Why debugging is not working?
Debugging Timer Jobs can be hard... The steps you took sound about right, but you can also do some more:
Timer Jobs run in OWSTimer.exe - you only need to attach to that one
Restart the timer service. For good measure throw in a restart, deploy, restart, iisreset ;-)
Did you do a DEBUG Build or RELEASE build?
Make sure you actually RUN your timer job (as in trigger it)
If your breakpoints are still not hit, do something ugly: use Debugger.Launch() or Debugger.Break() in your code or an assertion which will always fails: System.Diagnostics.Trace.Assert(false);
And then there is MSDN for the rescue.
Try loading debug symbols manually and see what it says:
To display the Modules window in break mode or in run mod
On the Debug menu, choose Windows, and then click Modules.
By default, the Modules window sorts modules by load order. However,
you can choose to sort by any column.
In the Modules window, you can see which modules have debugging
symbols loaded. This information appears in the Symbol Status column.
If the status says Skipped loading Cannot find or open the PDB file,
or Loading disabled by include/exclude setting, you can direct the
debugger to download symbols from the Microsoft public symbol servers
or to load symbols from a symbol directory on your computer. For more
information, see How to: Use a Symbol Server and How to: Specify
Symbol Locations and Loading Behavior.
To load symbols manually
In the Modules window, right-click a module for which symbols have not
loaded.
Point to Load Symbols From and then click Microsoft Symbol Servers or
Symbol Path.

You can also try to delete Visual Studio cache just to be sure (from command prompt):
del /Q %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
del /Q %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\VWDWebCache
del /Q %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\1.0\Cache
Just adding to moontear's post.
I had the same loading debug symbols issue until I added in this code to the first line of my Execute method.
public override void Execute(Guid contentDbId)
{
// If in debug mode, trigger a false assertion to give time
// to attach the debugger to the OWSTIMER.EXE process.
#if (DEBUG)
System.Diagnostics.Trace.Assert(false);
#endif

Check to make sure your regional settings are correct - append /_layouts/15/regionalsetng.aspx to the CA URL. If you have the wrong time zone, your job may be scheduled for a time in the past. This has hung me up more than once. If this is the case, set the correct time zone (using the url above), stop and start the timer service (either services tool or open command line - net stop sptimerv4 then net start sptimerv4). Then attach to OWSTIMER and debug.
On the Start menu, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
In the Services window, make sure the SharePoint 2010 Timer service is started.
Open the Visual Studio 2010 project that contains your timer job.
Set a breakpoint in the Execute method of your job definition class.
On the Debug menu, click Attach to Process.
In the Attach to Process dialog box, c
If the Attach Security Warning dialog box is displayed, click Attach.
In the SharePoint Central Administration Web site, click Monitoring and then click Review job definitions.
Click the name of your job, and then click Run Now on the Edit Timer Job page.
Verify that the Visual Studio 2010 debugger stops execution on your breakpoint.lick OWSTIMER.EXE, and then click Attach.
This is a pretty niche question, so I am not expecting a huge response...
Basically, I am learning how to use the UDK by following some tutorials, namely this one:
http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=27043379#post27043379
So far everything is going pretty well. The only real hangup I've had is getting everything to work in Visual Studio 2005 using this nFringe plugin. For a long time, couldn't get them to work at all. I've gotten into two or three chapters of the tutorial, and I've managed to use Visual Studio to edit the code, but I can't build the scripts within VS; I have to go to UDK Frontend to do that. And worse still, I can only really use Log commands in the unrealscripts to debug anything.
So my question is this: is it even possible to configure these tools in a way that I can put breakpoints in VS and have them be caught when I test the game? I feel as though I don't have something setup correctly.
Yes it is possible. Here are some info which might be useful to you.
First, both your .sln and your .ucproj files must be located in Development/src. Then, under visual studio, right-click your project (.ucproj file in the solution explorer) and open its properties.
You must set, under the General tab:
Target Game: UnrealEngine 3 Mod
UCC Path: ....\Binaries\Win32\UDK.exe
Reference Source Path: ..\Src
Under the Build tab:
check "Build debug scripts"
Under the Debug tab:
Start Game Executable: ....\Binaries\Win32\UDK.exe
Load map at startup: the name of your startup map, without path nor extension
Start with the specified game type: put your GameInfo class used for your mod, ie. MyMod.MyGameInfo
Disable startup movies can be checked to gain time at launch
Enable unpublished mods must be checked.
In your command line, the parameter -vadebug specifies that the breakpoints will be enabled.
After that, you must be able to build your script from Visual, and launch your game by pressing F5.
Breakpoints should work but you can't put them on a variable declaration, you have to put them on a function call, an assignment or a condition statement.
Hope this will help.
I havnt tried using breakpoints yet but I know its possable to build with nfringe and visual studio . You need to add a line to the
udk game / config / udk engine .ini
search for
editpackages
exactly like that , then youll see a block like this
EditPackagesInPath=....\Development\Src
EditPackages=Core
EditPackages=Engine
EditPackages=GFxUI
EditPackages=GameFramework
EditPackages=UnrealEd
EditPackages=GFxUIEditor
EditPackages=IpDrv
EditPackages=OnlineSubsystemPC
EditPackages=OnlineSubsystemGameSpy
EditPackages=OnlineSubsystemLive
EditPackages=OnlineSubsystemSteamworks
then add your own line pointing to a folder named what ever you want but make sure it has a folder in it named Classes and it has the uc files you wnat to compile in it
ModEditPackages=MyTestProject
if you used that line then you are tellign udk you have a folder named
MyTestProject
located in your development/src folder and you want it to compile everything in there
