When connecting to remote debugger, breakpoints won't be hit and dlls not showing in module window

Michael Warden 0

I have a multi project solution that I have deployed to a local server that has both a MVC site and an API service to populate it. When I try to attach to the w3wp process with the remote debugger, while the Microsoft dlls show up in the module window, none of the solution's dlls are visible. The breakpoints in the solution also show that they will not be hit.

I've experienced this a few times before and usually deleting the bin, obj, and vs folders then rebuilding have solved the problem but it isn't working this time.

Things that I have verified:

I've deployed the debug build
Just my Code is not selected
My Visual Studio and the Remote Debugger are version 2022

Any ideas as to what my next steps might be?

Hi @Michael Warden,

Is the locally deployed application running correctly, is there anything wrong with IIS? Or is it just a problem with remote debugging? Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with VS, maybe you can refer to these documents to try to narrow down the problem:

Attach to a process on a remote computer

The breakpoint was successfully set (no warning), but didn't hit

The application has an issue, which is why I am trying to attach to the process. The site does load the first page but does not have any data in it. IIS seems to be running as there are other sites that I can attach to just fine.
