    Symbols not loaded

    Ok - tearing my hair out...
    I have a web service I am working on. Recently I made a whole bunch of changes and now, although I can successfully compile it, when I run it my break-points will not work. The red dot turns into a circle and floating the mouse over it reveals the message:

    The breakpoint will no currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.

    I have NO idea what I changed to cause this to begin happening. One big change was to add a reference to a WSDL, but I really don't think that is the problem.

    I have read many posts that says this problem is usually caused when Visual Studio is not in Debug mode - but I can not find out how to determine if it is in debug mode or now. I have VS 2008 - and the instructions I've seen on other sites lead nowhere. I can not find anything that indicates "debug mode" - am I just not looking hard enough?

    Help - I am about to dump the program and start all over again - 2 weeks worth of work - but unless I can find the problem I'm afraid it may just happen again.

      Well... Lets start by looking at the code that you have so far. That way we can see if there is something that could be fixed. Whitout seeing your code I don't thnk we can help you out.

      Please post your code.

      Happy coding,

          Sadly this is a pretty large project - over 8 weeks in the making now and the problem is one with the IDE, not a problem with the code. I could post the code, but that would be of no help.
          I did find a temporary cure - but it's voodoo. Since I am working on a web service I had set the service not to bother opening a page whenever I began debugging. It was working that way up until the other day. Now I set it to go ahead and open a page when I start the debugger, and the symbols apparently get loaded then.
          You do this in the Web tab of the project properties page.
          So the behavior is simple:
          When I have the IDE load a web page for the service then the debugger works
          If I don't have it load the web page, then it will not work.

          I can live with this - but it is annoying.
