Breakpoints not Working when Using vsjitdebugger to Attach Debugger

Question

I have a C# application that is using vsjitdebugger to attach a debugger to another process using its pid, like this:

vsjitdebugger -p {pid}

When I do this the debugger selector pops up, and I pick the instance of Visual Studio that has the project I want to debug open.

Everything appears to work, Visual Studio does attach, but no breakpoints are working.

If I manually attach using Debug > Attach to process... it works as expected.

How can I get vsjitdebugger to work the same way as Debug > Attach to process...?

Answer 1

This answer was the one that made it for me: "skipped loading symbols for ngen binary" for C# dll

Basically when the debugger pops up, check the box that says:

Manually chose the debugging engine

Then just check the one that fits. If you don't know which one it is, when you attach to process and the .dll loads properly, go to Debug > Windows > Modules, and you'll be able to see in the details.
