Have you tried a clean and rebuild?

Yes. I tried. But no luck

Is this in Debug or Release? Release builds, even with PDB support, are notorious for poor watches.

It is a debug release.

Appu 2009-07-04 15:00:42

a "debug release"? a "debug build" you mean?

I got the exact same problem. Its in debug mode, ONLY on websites, other projects (console, webapplications) are fine. I use c#, Visual Studio 2008, asp.net 3.5 SP1.

I also get strange types in the locals window.

I actually made it work by these steps, not sure why this should be the solution though.

checking enabling .net source stepping and enable source server. http://i25.tinypic.com/987ubn.jpg
it then loaded all symbols
made a clean build, removed it again and enabled just my code
clean build, voila i got correct debug symbols again!
