  • Hi Fábio,

    Which kind of IE version are you using? Whether all similar apps have the same issue? To make sure that whether it is related to the IE settings, please reset your IE settins, and then uncheck “Disable Script Debugger (internet Explorer)” under Tools->Internet options->Advanced.

  • I just installed IE10 and am using VS 2010.  The solution that you mention, Jack, doesn't work.

  • The only thing that worked for me was to edit the Project's Properties that was running and enable the Silverlight Debugger on the Web Tab
