VB - .NET - Visual Studio 2005 - programming - coding - termimology and other issues, assistance needed please

Requesting answers that will be intuitive to a programming semi-illiterate.





I have inherited a VS 2005 project from an individual who left the company unexpectedly. I'm not an experienced programmer and I'm trying to see if the application he was building is working.





QUESTIONS:





What is meant by the following:





" 'C:\WINDOWS\blah, blah, blah...\Microsoft.VisualStudio.HostingPr... Skipped loading symbols. Module is optimized and the debugger option 'Just My Code' is enabled."





In .NET programming speak (in VB context, if/where it matters), what is meant by:





- "Skipped loading symbols"? Does this indicated that some aspect or component of the application did not run successfully?





- "Module is optimized"? In this context, what's a "module"?





- What does "debugger option 'Just My Code' is enabled" mean?





Thanks!!

If you're not an experienced programmer you are going to have a lot of pain working through this. It's not for the faint hearted. Briefly a module is a piece of code that compiles into a DLL. Just My Code is an option under Tools/Options/Debugging/General. If your module is optimized you can't debug it so the debugging symbols are not loaded.





Now switching off the optimization is something I have been trying to do without success for ages...





Sigh.
