Problem with Debug.Assert

[Brady Kelly]

When I run the following code in the IDE, under the Debug configuration,
when I choose Retry on the dialogue presented by the assert, I get a message
that no source code is available for the current location. Can anyone
enlighten me as to why VS2008 cannot see the obviously available code at
that location?

string ns = null;
// -- Missing code or operation to initialise ns should be here.

// I only want to stop processing here when debugging.
Debug.Assert(ns != null, "Whoops! ns is null");
if (ns == null)
{
Trace.WriteLine("Cannot print ns because ns is null");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("ns = {0}", ns);
}

Have you enabled address-level debugging but not "Show disassembly if
source not available"? That's in Tools/Options/Debugging/General in
VS2005

I've also seen this when the available source doesn't match the
executable, and I've just plain had the IDE throw a strop and fail to
load the symbols at all. A reboot or rebuild has always fixed that for
me in the past.

John, in VS 2008, with address level debugging disabled, I get a no source
code available, period, error message. With 'Show disassembly.." enabled, I
go straight to the disassembly, without it, I get the same source code
message, but with an option to view disassembly.

I find that enabling "Just my code (Managed only)" suppresses the warning
about source code availability.

Interesting, in all cases, one 'single-step' enters a break-point on the
assert line, regardless of what is enabled and what not.
