I need to debug my feature receiver, so I set up few breakpoints, but when I hit F5 in VS2010, they are all missed, and it says that "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document." What should I do to be able to debug my feature receiver?

The key is setting the deployment configuration to No Activation otherwise your Feature Receiver runs during deployment and cannot be debugged – Rob Windsor Sep 29 '11 at 14:50
Using System.Diagnostic.Break() will work perfectly on activating, or am I wrong here ? – Frederik P. Feb 14 '12 at 8:43
