Visual Studio Service Pack 1 introduced an issue that prevents breakpoints to be hit while debugging DXCore plug-ins. When you hit F5 to run the plug-in project, Visual Studio builds it and starts the second instance of Visual Studio where you can debug the plug-in. However, the breakpoints inside plug-in project won’t be hit when you have SP1 installed. The corresponding bug report is registered on the MS Connect. It seems that the issue is in the TargetFramework version set for the project: if the version is 2.0 – the break point won’t be hit.
