Debug.Assert( False, "Why wont I display ??")

[Mr Newbie]

Debug.Assert( False, "Why wont I display ??")

I am trying to use this in my code but it wont display. The app is running
on my local machine and the above code under a button click event.

What am I missing ?

Cheers mr N . . .

The syntax is :

Debug.Assert Method (Boolean, String)
Checks for a condition and displays a message if the condition is false.

Example :

Public Shared Sub MyMethod(type As Type, baseType As Type)
Debug.Assert(Not (type Is Nothing), "Type parameter is null")
End Sub

What's the method/condition you're testing ?

Yes I know, thats my example but it does not work. I'm simply trying to get
the line to work and display the dialog box on my local server if the
assertion failed, but it does naff all and simply goes about its business
without so much as a sneeze !!!

I don't know anything about Debug.Assert, but does it only work in debug
mode, and you're not debugging?

Debug.Assert doesn't work very well for asp.net applications. You need to
check the VS.Net output window and run the code from VS.Net. Not very
practicaly. Supposedly you can do stuff to fix it, like:

but I've never tried.
