Debugging Options .Net

[sweep123]

With Visual Studio .Net I have a project which was built is run via a batch file. This batch files sets up lots of environmental variables and kicks off the exe file.

But how do you debug this exe?

Are they options within the debugger to handle this situation?

You should be able to attach to the process while it is executing. Debugging should be possible as long as the exe contains the debug symbols. Please note the use of "should" indicating that i have never tried to do this since i found no reason to.

It may also be possible to provide the environment settings using the debug settings in the project.

If none of the above works why not provide a resource neutral configuration stack implementation. That way you can provide that data using a file or database or whatever you like.

You should not be stopped from debugging because of configuration settings, that’s just not right.
