Visual Studio Solutions


Solution 1 - Visual Studio

Disable "Enable .net framework source stepping" in Tools → Options → Debugging settings.

Solution 2 - Visual Studio

You can do this from the Symbols option page

  • Tools → Options
  • Go To Debugging → Symbols
  • Uncheck all of the listed symbol file locations

Also you may want to disable "Enable .net framework source stepping" in Tools → Options → Debugging settings.

Solution 3 - Visual Studio

From VS Main Menu -> Debug -> Options and Settings
Make sure all the following parameters are configured as follows:

> 1. Debugging -> General -> 'Enable Just My Code' is Enabled > 2. Debugging -> General -> 'Enable .NET Framework source stepping' is Disabled (this might occur automatically after setting step 1) > > 3. Debugging -> Symbols -> All symbol files locations are unchecked
