Hello there. I am having a little problem here. The solution is probably very simple but here it goes. I am having a problem that textures aren't blited when I am in debugging mode in VS. But when I run the app from it project directory everything is blitted fine.

I load a 32 bit PNG image from a directory in the project map. Like "data/image.png".

It isn't really a problem but I would like to see stuff blited and not just squares when I am in debug mode.

I already tried GameDev... no help there. I also tried to put the whole path to the file.

Advices?

Most likely a problem with your directory setup? Go to the project properties, and see if the Debugging -> Working Directory is set to the right place.

Tried that already and tried that again now. Doesn't work. I am using Windows 7 for more info. I also tried to run VS in admin mode and also with XP compability. But that last thing gave me only compiling errors.

Have you stepped through the execution and confirmed that the file is actually being opened? Because it really does sound like it's just a working directory problem.

I forgot to do that.

And yea you were right. The file isn't loaded in debugging mode. It has a value of 0. Normal start has a value of 1.

So it is a working directory problem. But I tried changing the setting there and it doesn't work. I think it is a windows 7 problem, but I run VS with admin privilegies.

Any good idea?

find out what the working directory actually is?

??

Well it is: M:\Fall\Fall\Debug

Or what did you wanted to say?

Just copy the media to your project directory and the binary directories? Should work just fine.

Solved  

Thanks guys and thanks David.

I set the working directory to $(TargetDir) and it worked :D
