Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Start Visual Studio .NET.
2. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
3. In the New Project dialog box, click Visual C# Projects under Project Types. Under Templates, click ASP.NET Web Application.
4. In the Location box, type TryDebug. If you are using the local server, you can leave the server name as http://localhost, so that the Location setting is http://localhost/TryDebug. Click OK to create the project.
5. In the Solution Explorer, right-click WebForm1.aspx, and then click View Code.
6. Copy and paste the following code after the Page_Load event handler in the WebForm1 class:

   private static System.String ss = WebForm1.StaticMethod();
   public static  String StaticMethod()
   {
   	String s = null;
   	s.CompareTo( "hello" );  //put Break point here
   	return "Hello";
   }
   					

7. Insert a breakpoint in the following line of code:

   s.CompareTo( "hello" );  //put Break point here
   						

   To do this, select the specified line of code, and then press F9.
8. Press F5 to run the debugger. When you hit the breakpoint, press F5 again. In the Exception dialog box, click Continue.
   
   You receive the error page in the browser.
9. Stop the debugger.
10. Press F5 to run the debugger again.
    
    This time, the debugger may not hit the breakpoint. Instead, you receive the cached error page in the browser. On subsequent debug attempts, you continue to receive the cached error page.
