"Step Into" in Debugging

=?Utf-8?B?QWxleCBNYWdoZW4=?=

Does anyone know why I have no "Step Into" option during debugging in VS
2005/C# app? I have "Step Over" but no "Step Into" even though it would be
stepping into one of my own functions inside the same .cs file.

Hi Alex ,

Based on my experience, it may be caused by improperly configured VS2005
IDE setting.

If the "Step Into" menu item is not presented in the "Debug" menu, you may
add the it manually. You may select "Tools"->"Customize.. ." menu option and
switch to "Commands" tabpage. In
the left listbox, you may select "Debug" item, and then find "Step Into"
item in the right side of listbox. Finally, you may drag this "Step Into"
item and move the mouse to the "Debug" menu of VS2005 IDE, then you may
drop the "Step Into" item to the position you want. I assume this will help
you to retrieve the "Step Into" window you are missing.

Please give it a try and let me know the result, thanks.

Best regards,

How weird that it didn't create that during setup, no? Well thanks very much.
That did it.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your feedback.

By default, "Step Into" menu should be in the VS2005 Debug menu.

Yes, I see your concern. It is always upset to miss this default debug menu
item in IDE. I have seen seveal similar reported issues in vsnet.debugging
newsgroup. Since these IDE settings are stored in disk file or registry
keys, I assume certain code in your machine has changed the default setting
and removed the "Step Into" menu setting. However, without using Proces
Monitor for live monitoring the modification to the file/registry keys, it
is hard to find out the root cause. Even harder, we do not know when will
this problem occur. So I would recommend you to live with this workaround
now.

If you can find out the reproducable pattern of this problem occurring,
please feel free to tell me, this will help us to find out the root cause.
Thanks.

Btw: if you want to know how to use Process Monitor to troubleshoot
file/registry access, I highly recommend Mark's video below:
"Advanced Windows Troubleshooting with Sysinternals Process Monitor"
http://www.microsoft.com/emea/itssho...px?videoid=346

Thanks.
