Beginner question: Symbols not loaded


Hi all!

I am a beginner to C++ DotNet and I would like to ask what "Symbols not
loaded" means and how to solve this problem.

Thank you very much.

For what file were symbols not loaded?

If for your file, change the configuration to debug and rebuild.

If for a Microsoft file, you can get the symbols by setting up the symbol
server search path, but probably you don't want to (it will just slow down
your debugging to have symbols loaded for all of Windows).

Thank you very much.

:-) I do not know the meaning of "symbol", that's where the trouble starts.

In the context of DevStudio or other debuggers, symbols are used to
make debugging easier. They tell the debugger that 'function xyz()
takes 2 values, and starts at address 0xDEADBEEF', etc. If you're
debugging your code, they're very useful. If the symbols are for
things that aren't your code, you can usually ignore that. Tip: when
it says symbols aren't loaded, it says which .dll/.exe symbols aren't
loaded for. Odds are, you should know what dll/exe you're creating, so
the rest should be Windows or other 3rd party libs. Go to
http://www.google.com/ and search for the dll/exe name to confirm
that.
