VS2008: The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.

My VS instance crashed while I was trying to add a WCF service. Had to terminate the process. But when I restarted, I noticed strange behaviours with the IDE. I could no longer debug my project and would receive an error stating that "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."

A bit of googling found this article.

The solution for me was to:

1. start debug

2. ctrl+alt+u.

3. Look for project in list and note path.

4. Close VS.

5. In explorer navigate to cache location in step 3, delete location of the cache usually under C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\xxx

I just deleted everything in root.

6. Deleted both bin and obj folder of each project.

6. Restart VS

7. Rebuild
