Help with breakpoints

I'm new to VB.NET and I'm trying to get my application to break at a
particular point.

I have set the breakpoint on the line I want by simply clicking in the grey
section to the left of the line of code (the line is then highlighted in
brown). I checked the properties of this breakpoint and set it to 'break
always', but it will not break at this point.

When I view the the breakpoint in the code window, the brown circle to the
left has a question mark in it, which states "The breakpoint will not
currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."

what does tis mean, I simply want it to break when it reaches this line. I
had no problems with this in VB6

Thanks for you help.

In the IDE's toolbar you will find an embedded combobox. Change its
selection from "Release" to "Debug".
