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

  • Using System.Diagnostic.Break() will work perfectly on activating, or am I wrong here ?
