User breakpoint called from code at 0x77f813b1

You can debug from release mode if you build with program database and switch off the optimization. The debugger looks for the PDB file and will load it if present. Change project setting in C/C++ General Tab to disable(debug) optimization and create Debug Info in Program Database. Optimization can shuffle code around and remove redundant stuff which can confuse the debugger because the binary does not match the source. Good Luck.

hi, thanx for the reply buddy.... This problem still persists in both the release and debug builds of the same program. Initially i tried to debug in release build, but now i tried it in debug build, and now also i am getting the same message, i have tried the settings you mentioned, but still the message appears....

Ok. The debugger should show you where in the code the error occures. Maybe you need to user the "Call Stack" window to step up the call stack to your code. There you should be able to find the problem.

Should have said that the suggestion will only help you debug a release version of an app. Not necessarily find this specific problem. You could try the Exception dialog in the Debug menu. Only available during debugging. It lets you control debugger behaviour in the event of an exception. Can be useful but time consuming.

Not enough information. Can you list the call stack? The OS version. A list of loaded DLL's and their versions and base addresses?

I come across this misconception all the time; there is no truth to it. There is nothing to stop you from enabling debug information for release builds. I do it all the time. The only issue is the MSVC IDEs don’t do this by default. If I made it they would.

we're talking about a user who don't even know the fundamental differences between debug and release... do you think he could have customized its settings by any chance ? :~

My response was to your assertion that, "you cannot debug a program compiled in release mode". This is simply not true.
