Does TesStand 4.0.1 support debug for C++ dll using Visual Studio 2012?

[ravillan76]

I'm trying to step into the code for a DLL created in Visual Studio 2012 using TestStand 4.0.1 sequence editor with no luck yet. I used to debug using Visual Studio 2008 under Windows XP OS. This time I'm trying Visual Studio 2012 and Windows 7 64 bits.

I'm attaching first message I got on the debug window console

'SeqEdit.exe': Loaded 'C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\TestStand 4.0\Bin\SeqEdit.exe', Binary was not built with debug information.

Any idea bout this problem?

TestStand 4.0.1 was released well before Visual Studio 2012 existed so the automatic step into behavior from TestStand that launches visual studio and attaches it as a debugger likely does not work.

But you can just attach to the seqedit.exe process from Visual Studio and set breakpoints in your code and debug teststand just like you would any other process from Visual Studio. Make sure that when you attach with Visual Studio that you make sure you have it set to debug native code.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the suggestion.I set Debug Mode to "Mixed" and it works!
