This QFE fixes three complete separate issues in the VS2008 SP1 Debugger:
- Debugger can hang the IDE after setting a breakpoint when working with a large C++ project
- Breakpoints do not bind correctly when an MSIL file is built containing .line directives
- VS crashes when debugging a classic ASP web and debugging is stopped.
Problem
I'm debugging classic asp code using VS 2008 sp1 on windows 7. Everything works great, I attach to the process and can debug. However, If I stop debugging visual studio will crash. I read the recycling the app pool would help, but it has not helped me end a debugging session with out crashing. I have hunted through Google and stack overflow for a solution, but so far I've mainly found complaints. Has anyone figured this out?
