Break Point

[Guest]

I have a couple of questions about break points. I have this one ASPX page
which had a breakpoint set on a particular line and I am unable to get rid of
it. If I look at the line in which the break is occuring, there is no
visible sign that a breakpoint is set. But as soon as I run the program, it
always stops on that line. This started happening after I moved the screen
to a different folder, not sure if this has anything to do with it. How to I
get rid of the breakpoint?

2nd question on conditional breakpoints. I have a break point set on a line
which looks like the following:
string fielda = dr["myField"].ToString();
When I right click on that line and select Breakpoint properties ,how do I
properly set up a condition of ... fielda = "Fred" ? I have tried setting
the condition to "Fred" and "fielda = "Fred", but none of those do the
trick. What am I missing on setting conditional breakpoints?

Chances are, it's breaking due to an exception occurring. Check under your
Debug|Exceptions tool.

The condition must evaluate to true or false. Try using:

fielda == "Fred" (doubled equals signs)
