New data breakpoint disabled in Visual Studio 2008 mixed project

Question

In a DLL called from C ++ / CLI code, I cannot install Data Breakpoints in some pure C code. The New Data Breakpoint ... menu item is disabled, as is the pop-up window in the breakpoint window. I could not find anyone who reported this, the only similar experience for a mobile device developer.

Debugging works fine - I can set the clock and breakpoints on a function.

I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional sp1 for Vista x64.

Answer 1

I think setting data breakpoints is only available if you are debugging the original mode. It is not available in managed mode or mixed mode debugging mode.
