I run VS2010 Pro on a Windows XP machine.
I have downloaded and installed PEX & Moles. That all went fine.
When I open a C#-project and position the cursor on a class method and rightclick, I see no 'run pex' or 'pex' choice, as should be the case according to (install) docu.
As far as I could see I have done all by the book, but no joy.
It seems I forget something somewhere but what? Who can help me out?
I have noticed the same functionality when I added a reference to Pex to my project. When I removed it and right clicked the method body, then I could see "Run Pex" and "Pex."
I believe, and someone correct me if I am wrong, that you only need to reference the Microsoft.Pex.Framework in your Test project, not the project you are testing.
I had the same problem. I closed visual studio and opened it again. Voila, it's there.
So, I think the issue is when the Pex was installed, my VS2010 project was open. It can't detect it after Pex was installed. If you close the project and open it again, the option shows up.

I am using Visual Studio 2019. I wrote whole my program in c++ but when I want to try it and start the program without debbuging it doesn't do anything. I had same issue for more times but when I restarted visual studio the problem was fixed. But now I tried restarting VS, searching for help on the internet but I didn't find anything.
I am just begginer in VS so I don't know how should I fix it. Thanks for help.
Below are the instructions to fix this for projects that start as an "empty project". This fixed the issue for me.
"Please right-click your project name and go to Properties page, please expand Configuration Properties -> Linker -> System, please select Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) in SubSystem dropdown. Because, by default, the Empty project does not specify it."

VS does not automatically run whatever is in your code window. You must go to Solution Explorer and identify which code to run by right clicking and setting it as the startup file.
In my WCF project at Vs 2015 when I add break point for debugging I got this message:
the breakpoint will not currently be hit no symbols have been loaded for this document.
I do googleing and none of other's answer worked for me !!!
for example: Right click the Solution in solution explorer, click "clean solution", this deletes all the compiled and temporary files associated with a solution.
and this and this
any suggestion?
thank you
If your solution is having shared projects with other solutions which is also open then close the other solution. Then clean the solution and restart Visual Studio. Then do rebuild (rather than build, though it is cleaned).
Hope this will fix the issue.
I finally got what is my problem. I have a big mistake. I decide write that , where was my problem because maybe it is helpful for other developer.
I fresh installed windows and after that I installed VS 2015. because I did not install IIS , Vs used of IIS Express. this is was my problem. for solve that, I installed IIS and then in properties of my project and Web section and server part I select Local IIS and then Create virtual directory. now my problem gone.
Right Click the Project and click properties.
Under Build the Active Configuration should be set to Debug.
While running the code with F5 or Play button.
Make sure Debug is selected instead of Release in the drop down next to Play button.
I put myself in a stupid situation.
I remember setting this, and it was a bad idea...
In the Attach to Process dialog, I had the Attach to: set to the older Managed setting 3.5, 3.0, 2.0.
when I should have been using Managed (4.6, 4.5, 4.0). I'm actually using 4.7, but this works for me.
Be sure to match your target framework!
I have a very weird problem. In Visual Studio 2013 I working on an application for sorting and renaming files. It is not done yet, but I wanted to show it to some other people on another PC. I have tried almost every menu in every possible context but I simply can't find the publishing wizard or any other tool for that. Normally I should just do a right click on the project and have the option "Publish..." there, right? I have also tried the build menu. All I get is "Build", "Rebuild", "Clean" and "Code analysis". No option for publishing. Maybe I am just stupid and forgot to configure something? It seems like the word "publish" has completely vanished from the whole program. I have seen screenshots and in my VS the option is simply missing. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
I also tried adding an installer project, but then it just tells me that there was some kind of an error. No further information. Just "an error occured".
Any help will be appreciated! :)
Your application after build is in YourProject\bin\Release\ or YourProject\bin\Debug\ path.
I have the problem that Visual Studio (or maybe Resharper?) removes line breaks when I try to start my application. This happens in a way that when I press F5 or click on the run button with the mouse that a line break at the line where the cursor was the last time will be removed which is extremely annoying.
I have not tried so many things yet because I really don't know where to start. I never experienced this problem before and was always working with the same setup:
Visual Studio 2010
Resharper 6.1.1
Other plugins I use but which were installed after the problem (so I think they should not be related to the problem):
AnkhSvn
TeamCity
Example:
Before:
public void test(){
int x = 5;
}
After running the solution:
public void test(){
int x = 5;}
Edit: This issue seems to be related to Resharper - so hopefully they will be able to fix this issue as I never had this with any previous versions. (http://devnet.jetbrains.net/message/5456038#5456038).
This is a problem with Dexexpress Dim#ster patch. If you delete licenses.licx and compile in the source code. Not happend. The problem is when you open a form and licenses.licx is created again. Is you uninstall the patch this dissapear. But I dont understand why deactivating Resharper the problem gone too. But without patch and resharper + devexpress trial working fine.
The problem is the patch.
I'd do this before reinstalling:
Uninstall All plugins
Type devenv.exe /resetsettings
Now try and use your code as described without plugins. Slowly add back your plugins if its ok and check after each is installed if the problem manifests itself. if not it was some setting in one and its now gone, if it comes back after one is installed you have a good thing to look at.
Just blatting the environment means you'll never find out whats causing it, which would annoy me :)
Have a look at ReSharper's Braces-settings: http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/code_formatting.html#Code_Style_Configuration_and_Sharing (1st screenshot). Try changing those settings according to your needs.
If you're a member of a team, maybe someone else enabled sharing of "code style settings". See the previous link for that, 2nd screenshot.
Does it also occur when you just build the project?
In the build options try doing clean project, then open close the program. After this do a rebuild project. Also make sure the project is in debug mode for testing =)!
Delete the settings resharper in solution. Helped me.
I know that this question is a little bit old. But this may help anyone who encountered the same error with resharper and devexpress controls. I've tried all the above instructions, but the nothing works. BTW I'm using visual studio 2017 with resharper 2017.2.2 and devexpress 17.2.3
This what works for me.
Open build&run window in resharper. Click Resharper>Windows>Build&Run to open the the window then select "Enable 'Resharper Build'. Open any file in text editor and move the cursor at the end of any line of codes or on any empty line and try to build the project to see if it works.
Hope this will help.
At this point I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling VS. Then add ReSharper and any of your extensions one at a time.
I had the same problem. I use this prebuilt-event script
break>$(ProjectDir)\Properties\licenses.licx
I have ReSharper 10.0.2, VS2013, DevExpress Components and VisualSVN.
Firstly I'm completely aware of this message and why it happens normally. It's not that I'm just trying to run a dll (like this question).
I have a project that compiles to a dll but has a startup program specified in the project properties. Most of the time I'm able to right-click on the project and select Debug > Start new instance, and it will run the program and let me debug my dll. However, occasionally I get this message (A project with output type of class library cannot be started directly) as if I haven't got a startup program. The first few times I thought it was just me accidentally clicking on the wrong project but I'm certain this isn't the case given that it's happened so many times and I've been careful to watch it.
When this message appears I'm able to try it again and it always works on the second or third attempt.
A colleague using the same Solution never has this problem :-/
Anyone else had this problem or know how to solve it?
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Pro Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
Edit: Also happens with Visual Studio 2010
Another colleague suggested it's because after clicking Debug > Start new instance, while I'm waiting for it to start up, I click on a different project. I don't do it for any reason, just randomly selecting things as I wait for the project to start up. Maybe Visual Studio looks at the selected project sometime after I clicked the menu, gets confused, and shows the error message?
Anyone able to confirm this matches their experience?
Typically problems in VS are caused by:
Add-ins: Run VS without and see if the problems is solved
Corrupted files in your solution: Delete / rename all files created by Visual Studio which are not part of your project, i.e. all .suo, .ncb files and a like.
I had this problem with projects that were created as "Windows Control Library" that somehow forget their status. Unloading and reloading the project usually did the trick.
If it was created as a "Class Library" then to make it a "Windows Control Library" I manually add the following to the .csproj file. It was the only difference I could see between a class library and windows control library project.
BTW - starting a Windows Control Library starts the User Control Test Container - allows you to test any user control in the library. Very cool.
<Service Include="{94E38DFF-614B-4cbd-B67C-F211BB35CE8B}" />
add that inside of an <itemgroup> element.
If you plan to use/create/add extra dll's or just have more than one project in your solution, you may get this kind of problem, especially if you forgot a simple rule:
1. In your "Solution Explorer" window. Right click and chose "Set StartUp Projects..."
2. Under "Start Up Project" select and change "Single startup project" to your working entity.
no just make a start up project
Going to resurrect this thread, I have just been experiencing similar issues, when right clicking a project and start new instance..
So instead of right clicking the project and selecting start new instance, I right clicked and clicked set as startup project.
Low and behold a class library project was set to bold, certainly not the one I was right clicking.
I tried selecting a different executable project and setting that as the startup project. Same class library was highlighted as the start up project.
Realised that the current open file was from that project, possibly all the open files were from that project...
closed all open files and tried again.... Problem solved, behaviour as expected for both set as start up project and start new instance options...
Definitely a bug, hope this helps others..
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0.30319 SP1Rel
This sounds like a transient Visual Studio problem. Reinstallation or upgrade may solve your problem.
I've seen this as well, and it seems like a bug in VS. It happens after you right-click/build a class library (that requires rebuilding), and then right-click/debug > start new instance.
edit- It's still very intermittent, I can't seem reproduce it reliably
I've found that I've had the Startup Project on the Solution set to Current selection, then at some point, I've unloaded a project, and the solution has reverted to Single startup project on a project that happens to be a class library.
