I'm using VS2012 to try to remote debug a service running on a remote server on our network. I have created a shared folder on the remote server that points back at my development machine and allows me to start the msvsmon.exe 64 bit
I have copied the dll and pdb files from my dev machine to the server for the service i wish to debug. These files are identical.
I can attach to the remote process. At which point my breakpoints state "No symbols have been loaded for this Document".
"Enable just my code" is NOT ticked. Service web.config has Debug="true" I've restarted the appPools since loading my assemblies.
When i debug locally the loaded modules window shows the assemblies i want to debut as "Symbols loaded" If i attach remotely the none of the assemblies even appear in the list.
I'm not sure if this is important for remote debugging or not. If it is I don't know how i can fix this.
Assemblies and pdb files are together in the same folder on the remote server. However, i read that the dll and pdb files must be the same file structure as on the DEV machine. I don't know if this is right, but i don't see how this would be possible. VS structure are individual project and solution. Once deployed the assemblies all sit in the same bin folder.
Can any one provide any additional possible causes for this issue ? Can the loaded modules issue be fixed if indeed it is an issue?
Thanks
