Debugger problem. "You need to find string.cs to view..." , Component.cs or appdomain.cs

Question

Monday, October 9, 2017 6:07 PM | 1 vote

I use Visual Studio 2013, Visual Basic. One morning one of my development machines start throwing these "You need to find..."errors while debugging. I happens now in every project on this computer. The file referenced can be String.cs or Component.cs or appdomain.cs. I believe I had done a Telerik (a 3rd party component suite) update the day before. But since these seems to affect every project I thought I would ask here also.

Does anyone have any idea as to the solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance,

pat

Hi pat,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

If you create a new VB solution and debug it, does this issue persists or not?

>>I believe I had done a Telerik (a 3rd party component suite) update the day before.

How did you update this? If you mean the Telerik extension, please go to Tools-Extensions and Updates-Installed and temporarily disable it and check if this issue again. If the debug works fine, which means this latest Telerik extension lead to this issue. If so, since the Telerik is third party software, please report to its own forum: http://www.telerik.com/forums and report this issue, thank you for your understanding.

If not, please have a try with the following to troubleshot this issue:

  1. Go to Tools-Options-Debugging-Symbols and click ‘Empty Symbol Cache’
  2. Go to Tools-Options-Debugging General and check ‘Enable Just My Code’, then debug it again

Best regards,

Sara

Sara,

My apologies for the tardiness of my response. Clearing the Symbol cache worked. 

Telerik correctly disavowed all knowledge of the problem. No one else was reporting this issue. 

I didn't create a test project. It was quicker to clear the cache first. 

Thank you very much for your assistance. I NEVER would have found this on my own.
