how to debug visual C# express dll with labivew application

[ergwser]

Hi,

I write dll with Microsoft visual C# 2010 express, and call that dll in labview application.

The problem is how to debug the dll step by step?  Microsoft visual C# 2010 express won't allow to specify an external calling application.

Thanks for any help.

You would need to use the full version of Visual Studio to do that. That is a Microsoft limitation on the Express editions, not a LabVIEW one.

Short of that, you can do it the old-fashioned way, which is to put a whole bunch of logging statements in the DLL so that it writes to file the values of the input parameters of functions it has received, values of certain key variables, etc.
