How to export / import breakpoints on VS 2013?

Question

I would like to import / export breakpoints that I use to export (xml format) from VS 2008/2010, but cannot load it from VS2013.

I remember, as soon as I upgraded to VS2013 and converted to a VS2013 solution from the VS2008 environment, the breakpoints worked fine. I think I could save once in VS2013 and tried to download it as soon as I delete them all by accident. Somehow I received the error message "Failed to import control points." even I add breakpoints and try to export them, but I got the error “Failed to export breakpoints” with a small ascent. Would you advise if you have a workaround or solution ?

Answer 1

How do I reset all the settings, and it works again, as you see at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/f407c02b-1afe-45f4-a22b-92cb681b197c/how-to-exportimport -breakpoints-on-vs-2013-while-debugging? forum = vsdebug

Thanks for helping me.

Answer 2

The answer above worked, but only for a short time, and as soon as I reset all my settings and set breakpoints again, it soon failed. The solution was to debug the application and then try to save. I have several possible mitigating factors:

1) I use Git (and Git extensions) as the only add-on 2) I build and debug as Admin in Windows 8.1

You might want to try this before you have months of useful settings.

Answer 3

FWIW I now “could not import control points” on VS2013, and then remembered that yesterday I changed the launch project after saving them. When I changed the download back to the original project, the import worked fine. If you're struggling, it might be worth checking out any changes at the solution / project level since exporting.
