How to debug Sitefinity MVC Widget

Question

I am trying to debug a MVC widget in sitefinity 8 but the debugger doesn't hit the breakpoint. The widget works but I cannot debug it. What is wrong? It seems like sitefinity compiles the widget first then renders the compiled one at run time. Am I right? How can I get to breakpoint?

Edit:

The debugger actually hit the breakpoint if the code is inside controller. But I cannot debug into view's (cshtml file) code.

He Behrooz,

you can turn off the Caching for the page you drag widget:

Page -> click on "Action" -> "Titles and Properties" -> scroll down to "Advance Tab" -> add choose Caching Options is "No Caching".

You can see the image attachment for more details.

Sitefinity is caching your views. If you want to debug the view, make sure to let the breakpoint hit it the very first time.
