How to debug a C # .NET application in Visual Studio 2010 that starts from another process

Question

I have a .NET GUI application written in C # and a PDF printer. There is a field in the PDF printer where you can set a command to launch an external application.

In this case, I can print a document with this printer, and the printer will start my EXE file with the file path of the generated PDF file as an argument. How can I debug my application when it is started from the printer?

In Visual Studio 2010, I can set debugging information for command line arguments, and this works fine. But if the application starts from the printer, the application does not work properly. So I want to debug my application when it starts from the printer. How can i do this? Is there a parameter for running an exe file in debug mode or something like this?

Answer 1

You can connect to the process when it starts using a small registry setting.

Switch to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options

And, of course, you will want to disable it for production.
