I've got a problem where the debug symbols in my project (VS 2008) will stop loading.

The only thing that I've been able to find that solves the problem is uninstalling VisualAssistX. I uninstall it, and debug symbols will load properly. I reinstall it, and it breaks again.

I am using build 1833 of VAX.

Any ideas what I can do to fix this problem? I don't want to lose VAX, but I need those debug symbols.

Do you have any other IDE plugin's installed?
Are you using a different compiler, so the IDE is just an editor?
Is there anything "odd" or different about your system or build process?

It does not make sense that VA would stop the debug symbols loading.

No other plugins, and I'm not using a different editor.

I tried un- and re-installing VS, but it had no effect.

What does the debug output window say about the symbols?

It says:

'PCDLRN.exe': Loaded 'D:\\code\\qa\\Pcdlrn\\NETDEBUG\\PCDLRN.exe', Symbols loaded.

So, I guess the symbols are loaded, but it's acting like they're not. Breakpoints set in the main application never get tripped, and if I set a breakpoint inside another project, and try to go up the call stack to the main application, I get the message "There is no source code available for the current location."

Sounds like you might have the source for a different version of the dll than the one being debugged.

Try disabling VA via the registry:
Exit VS2008
HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\9.0\\Addins\\VAssistNET.Connect9
set "LoadBehavior" to 0 (note the current value so that it can be restored later)
Start VS2008 and see if the behavior changes
