Debugging DLLs... 1

[Milby7]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to debug a c/c++ function library in a similar way to how you debug com libraries in vb6?? i.e. leave your dll in 'debug mode' in the IDE and step through the code when any calls are made to it from (already built) exe's.

I've been trying it by entering the executable in the projects debug details and running it, but it just loads, & immediately unloads the exe because the dll isn't loaded (or called) straight away!!

Thanks!

ok. no worries. i wasn't originally running it after copying the debug dll, just tried that because i thought that's what you meant!

i really don't think i'm gonna have any joy with this one, so am simply dumping diagnostics to a file.

Never mind!

Thanks again!!

you can stop the dll execution with a message box, attach the debugger to the process and step through... To process you should attach a running instance of VisualStuidio where your dll project is open already. You can attach debugger runtime to process from
(ctrl+alt+delete) TaskManager->RightClick->DebugProcess
