Visual Studio Debugger Breakpoint Helper

No executable code is currently loaded at this location / No symbols loaded

You need to figure out why symbols did not load for your module. Firstly, make sure you built the module correctly. Check that the code was compiled with /Zi or /ZI and linked with /debug.

Another way to tell if a module was built correctly is to run

dumpbin -headers <dllname> | findstr Format

from a command prompt. If nothing is shown then the module was built without symbol info, so you need to fix your build. If something is shown then it was built with symbol info, and it will show the path to the PDB.

Searching for the PDB

If you built the module on the same machine then the debugger will be able to find it without further assistance. However if someone else built it, or you have copied the bits to another machine, you will have to tell the debugger where to look for the PDB file. The symbol search path can be set via Debugging/Symbol Path (C++ projects only) or Solution Properties/Debug Symbol Files dialog.
