Visual Studio :: Unable To Put Breakpoints On Client Side JavaScript Code
Mar 20, 2010
I am using VS2008, SP1. I am unable to put breakpoints in my client side javascript code. Wherever I try to put the breakpoint, I am getting the message: "This is not a valid location to put the breakpoint". I have the js intellisense working fine. I also unchecked the two "Disable Debugging" checkboxes on IE. Due to this problem, I am unable to debug the js in VS 2008.
I have my project in VS2005, its is working fine last few years, But now durning development i face problem regarding breakpoints, here Im unable to get stoppage at breakpoints, I have change setting of security in Internet options add localhost as trusted site, but still its remain the same.
I also try Attach to process.... option from the debug, here webDev.WebServer process of running site is disable. Now Im totally unable to debug my project.
I am a quite new to web development and I am trying to do some small form updates without causing a postback. For example making a control visible when a drop down list is changed.
I have so far come across some features that achieve this like the RequiredFieldValidator inside an update panels. However, these are specific to a single task.
What are my options to achieve these client side updates in Visual Studio? At the moment I don't know any JavaScript, so I would prefer another solution if it exists.
When I try to set breakpoints in a JavaScript code file, I get the warning, "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."
This is a fairly large project that was working normally under VS 2008. I just installed VS 2010 Pro Academic, and this is one of the new problems that have appeared. It's running under Win 7 64-bit, IE 8, and both of the IE "disable script debugging" options are turned off. Debugging is enabled in the web.config file. The JavaScript code in question is being executed normally, and inserting "debugger" in the code works as expected. While running under debugging, you can open the corresponding script document from the Solution Explorer, Script Documents, and insert breakpoints just fine. Attaching to the IE process (from the Debug menu) doesn't seem to make any difference.
Basically, everything I can think of looks normal, and yet I can't insert breakpoints into the original source code with VS 2010. The problem is reproducible on more than one JavaScript source file. I rebooted and consults The Great Google, all to no avail.
This is a real headache for development. Has anyone else discovered a fix for this?
(UPDATE: I spent a few hours and created a new project, and copied all of the files from the original to the new one. Now, I can set breakpoints n the new project, but still can't in the original. Something's different between the two, but it isn't clear what it could be.)
Ho Do i change a value of a label control using client side?
function Test() { document.getElementById('Labelj').innerHTML = 'Your new value'; }
The problem i am having is: I am trying to input the code, but when i type in the javascript, it is not recognising the "innerHTML" value. It is not being promted in my intellisense, therefore the function is not working..is their something i am missing?
Has anyone found a tutorial for reporting using VS2010?I would like to create local reports (RDLC) with sub reports or some other solution for master details, preferably with data coming from entity framework 4, but objects data source will do if that isn't possible.
I know that I can receive an javascript object from the server via ASP.NET AJAX using Json. But I am not sure how can I send an javascript object from my client-side javascript to my server-side code. And if I can, how can I extract this object in my server-side code and access its members?
im facing problem to access classes out side my project folders. for example if i want to use some methods from store.vb file inside my project i get error : Name Space is not defiend, i have tried all ways such as import sdf.ITracjer.Data
[Code]....
i can't fetch the Store Class Methods or Function because its out of project directory, as its showin in image.
I have a asp.net mvc project in VS2010. In it I have a view called main.aspx that contains alot of javascript that frequently needs to be debugged. I can set the break point in the aspx page's javascript at edit time in VS2010. It appears as a mapped breakpoint. When I launch the debugger/IE browser, the javascript break point never gets hit. If I add a debugger; statement to my javascript I can launch a new visual studio instance and debug javascript. Unforunately, this requires a second visual studio instance and I have to set breakpoints all over again when I do it this way. Also, I have to remember to remove the debugger; statement when I am finished debugging. Is there a better way to get client side breakpoints working in Visual Studio 2010/IE?
I had the strangest bug yesterday while trying to debug in vs.net 2005....
I had an '05 web application. I clicked the "Run" button to start debugging, and the webpage popped up fine. I could run through the pages fine. Everything seemed fine....UNTIL!
Until I tried to start inserting breakpoints into my code. The application ignored them. In addition, I noticed my little green visual studio "Start Debugging" arrow (which is normally greyed out while in debug mode) was green. It was as if visual studio completely detached itself from my website I was trying to debug.
After playing around with it for a while, I realized I also had a vs.net 2008 solution open as well. My '08 solution wasn't in debug mode or anything, it was just sitting there open. I just happened to close it, not thinking anything of it, and presto! My 2005 debugger started working again!
So basically, I can't debug an '05 solution (or at least a web solution, as that's all I tried) while I also have an '08 solution open.
We've currently migrated our Classic ASP web to ASP.NET. Our greatest hope lies in using the Visual Studio for debugging. But this hope was destroyed devastatingly.There are lot of issues we encountered:No syntax highlightingNo breakpoints (message: "This is not a valid location for a breakpoint.")No Intellisense We cannot find the reasons. But we think VS can't resolve our include links correctly. (In our case we remove all inludes and the page was highlighted again.)That's why we have a lot of questions:Can VS2008 handle includes (<!-- #include file="myinclude.inc" -->) at all?Are there any constraints we need to know? Maximal lines to include? Including<% .. %> or <script language="vb" runat="server"> .. </script>? What settings have to be made?
I'm working on a VS2010 Solution containing an ASP.NET Website Project and 8 c# class libraries. All projects are set to compile under .NET 3.5
When I set a breakpoint somewhere in the class libraries, the debugger breaks correctly and everything is fine. If I then stop debugging, modify code in the class library, and start debugging again (which of course rebuilds the libraries which were modified) the debugger ignores the breakpoints.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'm lost and it's extremely frustrating to not be able to debug after making even a single line change and rebuilding.
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
I have a user control which contains a CustomValidator which is used according to whether a RadioButton is checked or not (there are several RadioButtons, I'm only showing the relevant one)
There is some client + server side validation code (the server side code does exactly the same thing and is skipped for brevity)
<script type="text/javascript"> function ValidateDateFields_Client(source, args) [code]...
There are two instances of this control in the page. When running the client side version it hits the wrong one (the version of the control which is disabled). You can see from the generated HTML both are correctly specified. I'm not sure how .NET works out which clientside function to call given they both have the same name.
[code]... Do i need to add something in to scope it? What's the best way to achieve this? If I disable the loading of the second control everything works fine.
In Visual Studio 2008 while debugging an ASP.Net website I set a breakpoint in the codebehind page. I refresh the page or submit to call the method, the breakpoint is hit. Then I delete the breakpoint and continue execution. I make a change to the codebehind page and save it. I submit or refresh again and the deleted breakpoint is back! It is hit again, and I delete it again. I have tried delete, disable, nothing works it keeps coming back if I make a change to the page. It is extremely annoying and unproductive. The only way I have found to make the breakpoint permanently go away is to use the Debug menu Delete all breakpoints item, which is obviously less than ideal. I have been able to reproduce this on other developers machines also. What is going on here? Is this by design? Is it a bug in VS? How do I keep these zombie breakpoints from resurrecting?
I am using VS 2008 for development of a web application and IE 7.
The website as usually has some java script and some server side code files (different layers).
For some reason when I start the application in the debug mode (by hitting F5), the break points in the JS are not hit. I get the usual error as no symbols are loaded. But the break points in the CS files in the layers are hit.
If I use (CTLR + F5) and then attach the IE process to debug, then I am able to hit the break points in the JS file. But in this scenario I cant debug the CS files (I presume this is the expected bahaviour).
EDIT: In the IE (properties dialog), 'disable debugging' are unchecked.
why in the F5 mode I am not able to hit the debug points. The same used to work in the different machine not sure what is wrong in this one.
In an ASP.NET web application using C#, when we double click on design it will go to code behind page (cs file), but problem here is, when we double click on design its going to script of source file. Why it is happening?
nfortunately, I can't get my breakpoints to work when in debug mode in Visual Studio 2008 (ASP.NET 3.5, Windows 7, IIS7). The website compiles and opens in debug mode, but the breakpoints themselves generate the following error message:"The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."There are some recommended solutions online, but for various reasons, either they haven't applied or I haven't been able to make them work. I've been trying to find the solution for about 12 hours now, and I'm getting desperate.(Note 1: This problem is specific to this website. I do have other websites that I open in VS2008 where the breakpoints work fine.)(Note 2: There is only one website/project associated with this problem. This website does not have multiple projects.)
I am developing a web application in which I am suddenly facing an issue. I have a webpage which contains many controls, one of the control is JQuery color picker. Now, I am upgrading my system with telerik controls. As part of this process, I replaced textbox(txtcolor) with radcolorpicker with a different id(colorPicker). Suddenly, my code behind file is not throwing any errors like 'unable to find txtColor'. It is running successfully without build errors. But, when I open the page, system is throwing runtime exception(txtColor not found) which is correct.
I tried to change other controls with asp.net controls, still the problem persists. So, I dont think it is anything to do with telerik.
I copied a heap of javascript code to my page. I need to modify it. But the formatting is messed at the same time.The brace brackets don't match. Is the a good way to format it?
I have a requirement of adding server side variables in client side and other way round. Because I need to set a value from client side using javascript and access the same in code behind page.
I have a list of items on an ASP.net page. That list is selectable in that whenever the user clicks on one, the page does a postback and the server code stores the index or some unique identifier of the picture in a ViewState property indicating that it is currently selected.
I would like to minimize the load on the server and therefore I would like to store the index or unique identifier representing the image in some way on the client side. The best way I can think to do this is to store said information in a hidden field ), however I had two questions about this before I go crazy:
Is this a security risk in any way, shape or form (i.e., exposing implementation details of the page)? Is there a better/best way to do this that is more industry-standard? Does ASP.net provide a framework to do this that is cleaner than my idea? Seems like this would be a fairly common requirement to me...
