Hi.
I'm sure I had this working last week, but I can't figure out what
went south.

I'm writing a dll using visual studio 2005 c++.

The dll is called by non msvc application, loaded dynamically.
After I fire up the application, I go into visual studio 2005 and use:
debug | attach to process and select my application.

When the ide gets going, all the break points go see-through, and
when I put my mouse cursor over them I see a message saying:

"The breakpoint will not currently be hit".
"No symbols have been loaded for this document".

When I right click on the project class view and look at the
properties, I see the active configuration is debug.
The command and working directory for debugging are the exe and
directory where the application exe is.
Under ghe configration properties | general the output directory is
the directory where the application resides.

Is this a known issue, or can someone tell me how to get back to
being able to see/step through breakpoints in a development setup
like this, or tell me how to solve the problem?

I believe you need to make DevStudio know where the symbols for
your DLL are (and make sure that they actually correspond to the
module loaded by the application). IOW, tell the debugger _where_
the PDB is, and find and remove all non-current duplicates of the
DLL and PDB.
