debugging

I used to be able to attach to my w3wp process and Debug my web application, but this is not working anymore. I have no idea what changed to break this.

My breakpoints simply have the "breakpoint will currently not be hit. The source code is different from the original version."

What I have tried:

Did a solution Clean.
Did a solution Rebuild.
Deleted the bin folder
Restarted Visual Studio
Restarted IIS
Restarted my Computer
Added a simple Response.Write to ensure that the latest DLL is being used. It is.
Made sure that Debug ASP.NET is checked in my project properties. It is.
Made sure that all my projects are compiled in my build configuration. They are.

But none of these help. I attach to w3wp, but my breakpoints never get hit.

Any ideas?
