How to debug an isolated shell
Posted by Thomas Motal on April 15, 2010 in BSopt Designer
When debugging an isolated shell be aware of the debugging configuration of your shell project. The default configuration do not allow to load managed packages (only native symbols are loaded). To enable debugging the configuration has to be changed to “Mixed” (instead of “Auto”) [1].
Steps to accomplish:
- Open the properties for your shell project
- Go to Configuration Properties -> Debugging Option
- Change the Debugger Type property to “Mixed”
This should solve the issue!
