Silverlight Debugging in VS 2008

I can't get the debugger in VS 2008 (Pro. Ed) to recognize any break points in my silverlight v1.1 code, not from the constructor, event handlers and all the hacks I've read(add Asp.net web app, IE etc) doesn't solve the problem. The debugger works fine for other project types, what am I missing here?

Re: Silverlight Debugging in VS 2008

Only thought I have is to check the Properties of your Silverlight project, looking at the "Web" tab....it provides a special option to enable Silverlight debugging (which apparently turns off the browser script debugging). The first time I ran the Silverlight app a dialog box popped up asking me whether I wanted to enable "Silverlight debugging", and when I answered "Yes" it seems to have enabled that option. Other than that, there are a bunch of debug related definitions on the "Build" tab as well. However, I didn't have to change any of those. I am having success with debug working in a combined web service and Silverlight solution.

Yes, John is right..

you can also do this..

create Silverlight project

create ASP.net project

in one solution..

add silverlgiht link to asp.net proj.. by right clicking on the asp.net project and selecting the "Add silverlight Link"..

when you will run your silverlight pages from asp.net project .. for the first time.. it will ask , you that you want to debug or not.. if you select yes.. then you can put break points inoyur silverlight .

Don't forget to use Internet Explorer and not firefox. I searched a while before to understand that it was only a problem with the browser.

Set internet explorer as the default browser. Don't copy the url in firefox, in internet explorer. It doesn't work too.

For anyone looking for the answer to the above question just go to your web apps properties page and select Application then check Silverlight under Debuggers.
