Process Join Automation in Visual Studio 2012

Question

I am developing a .NET DLL for software that is not part of my solution (no source).

I would really like to somehow implement a key shortcut that automatically attaches the DLL to a specific executable (ideally waiting for exe to start).

What is the best way to do this?

If there is a way to leave VisualBasic out of the picture, that would be an added bonus. (Don't be offended by VB fans, but I just don't like it)

Since macros do not exist in Visual Studio 2012, you will need to add an extension.

AttachTo is very nice and light. Find it in the extensions and updates (in the Tools) in Visual Studio.

Adds the Attach to IIS, Attach to IIS Express, and Attach to NUnit commands to the Tools menu.

Now you can start debugging a website hosted on the local IIS server, or the NUnit test crashes faster than before :)

The AttachTo extension provides options for hiding commands that are not related to you. You can also assign a shortcut using "Tools" → "Options" → "Keyboard".
