title: Visual Studio C# debugger - the breakpoint will not currently be hit
body: <p>I know that this question has been asked several times, and many people here have suggested different answers. Though none of them are working for me.</p>
  
  <p>I created a Windows Forms application with Visual Studio and .NET framework 4.0 and added a breakpoint. However, when I debug the application, an exclamation mark appears on the breakpoint and it says..</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No executable code is associated with this line. Possible causes include: conditional compilation or compiler optimizations.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have tried out several suggested solutions</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Cleaned the project</li>
  <li>Deleted the pdb</li>
  <li>Checked the configuration and ensured that it is debug</li>
  <li>Set the debug configuration from "x86" to "Any CPU"</li>
  <li>Tried creating project from scratch</li>
  <li>Tried re-installing .NET framework</li>
  <li>Removed temporary ASP.NET files</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>However, none of them seems to be working. I was able to debug my projects with breakpoints before and for some reason, something happened and I am not able to debug the projects any more. What should I look out for or fix to resolve this issue?</p>
