Debugger question

pastro · 2007-03-21, 09:29 PM

I'm using sharpdevelop and after compiling a new plugin dll, I execute gbpvr, and the debugger can stop and start the process and view all the threads but you can't set any breakpoints. Is there a way to load up GBPVR and still have the ability to set breakpoints in your plugin code?

Not sure how you do it in Sharp Develop, but you can in Visual Studio Express (free from Microsoft).

You can download Visual Studio Express (C#) from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/default.aspx
(look for Download button in upper right)

That worked great. I don't get why MS is giving tools away, but I sure like it!
Thanks for the tip.

I'm using VS 2005 full version, tried the above, plus tried Attach Process when debugging my plugin DLL, but never hit my breakpoints. I should know how to solve this, done it before, but shouldn't be trying to do this at 3:45 AM

I think in VS you need to set the gbpvr exe as the 'start up exe' in project properties.

Stupid question but you are building either in a debug config or with debug turned on and optimization turned off right?

All I ended up doing after switching to vc express was setting it up to copy the plugin to the plugins dir and execute gbpvr. I set a breakpoint in the code and it worked. The weather plugin latest source code had everything setup in it to debug when I downloaded it, all I had to do was hit f5 and it was off and debugging. If you are still stuck you might give that a go to make sure everything is working right.

Thanks for the tip about that plugin. I had the source and looked at the settings, made mine the same, and it works.
