The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.

Hello,

I got a project with several DLLs. In several classes the breakpoints say that they can't be reached because no symbols have been loaded.
Visual Studio loads the symbols from the Mircosoft Server but some of the DLLs have been created for this project. And it can't find the PDB file.
How can I make the project run into the breakpoints? Can I manually create the PDB files or let Visual Studio create them?

I hope you understand my problem and can help me!

You need the PDB files.

AFAIK the only way to create them if you don't already have them is to rebuid the DLLs from their source.

As you're trying to set breakpoints in a high level language, and you don't have symbols, you can't. But you can step thru the assembler. But if that doesn't make any sense to you, it won't help.

No. But I hope someone comes along and contradicts me.

Are these files Microsoft files? If so, you can download the symbols.
