"Attach to Process" automatically for a DLL

Question

Hi Forum

I am accessing a DLL from a script application and call functions from the DLL. To be able to debug in the DLL, I always have to attach to the script application, which starts the DLL (VS 2010-> Tools-> attach to process). Is there a way to automate that? I.e. when the external application starts the DLL, than automatically attach the debugger?

Thanks a lot

Hi Kostas111,

Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.

Azeem gave us the suggestion about how to attach to a process automatically at startup, if possible, please refer: attach to a process automatically at startup (without UI).

If no help, I suggest you could send the feature request via: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio  Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously, thanks for your understanding.

Best Regards,

Yes I tryed this, but it does not work for me. I thought perhaps this automatic attach is only possible for an .exe and not for a .dll.
