Few things.

Perhaps obvious but when you say that you execute your program do you mean that you run it from Visual Studio, not that you run the exe for example by double clicking it.

Another thing, since this is make sure that you run it in debug mode (in VS from Debug menu select Start Debugging). If you for example press Ctrl+F5 that will run the program without debugging.

Yes Sir! I am debugging the program from visual studio. Thanks so much

You're welcome :) So it hits the breakpoints now ?

Well, considering recent post by OP... (sigh), these suggestions are not redundant... :-) ...my 5.

Debug your program instead of running it.

Yes Sir! I am debugging the program...But it does not hit.

Frankly, I wouldn't probably get it, too. Perhaps it needs some explanation. (I did not vote.)

Please see my answer.

Press F9 harder! Well, jokes aside: first, makes sure your breakpoints work in principle, debugging is enabled, etc. To check it up, fist place you break point where the code runs in all cases, for example, on first statement on your entry point method.

Now, let's assume debugging is working. Put your break point where you wanted again. What, the execution is not stopped there. Excellent! Your debugging was successful and you have detected your first bug: in the order of execution the code you are interested in is never called. Great! Now you know what to do: activate a content menu and find all places where your method in question should be called. Put your break point at the beginning of your method and all the calls of it, and the beginning of each of the calling method. Repeat debugging process. Sooner or later you will find all the ropes and solve your problem.

Good luck,

Sounds Excellent. I have one more question? How to activate content menu? Thanks

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 21-Dec-11 0:58am

No kidding? There is a special menu key on your keyboard, on the right of right Alt. Hello..! Where have you been? In worst case, right mouse button.

@ SAKryukov..Awww I am not that worst Case..Sir.Actually, I over thought it.

Well, Thanks very much..:)

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 21-Dec-11 21:59pm

I was pretty sure you would. :-)
As to the term "worst case", if you read my statement carefully you can understand that it reflects comparison not between different types of people, not at all, but different options for activating of context menu. I consider "menu key" is the best options, which is not available on each and every keyboards, many smaller notebook keyboards miss it; and right mouse button option is the worst because this is for those deprived of the decent keyboard.

Hope now it's clear.

You are very welcome. Good luck,
