Hello,

Let me start of by saying I'm running visual studio 2005 express on XP home which probably isn't ideal.

I'd like to be able to debug the core dlls and the custom modules I purchase. I change the code quite a bit but I'm not really able to debug. My current process is read the code, change the code, then test it. I can't step through it.

This maybe as simple as dropping the code behing pages in the app code folder instead of using the dll's but I'm not really sure.

Is there any documentation on this.

In VB6 I've done a lot of ASP work with VB based dll's being used for data access. In VB6 I could check a box to wait for components to be created and then when I used an app that used that dll I could debug the code.

Does VS2005 Express have a similar way of doing things.

VB Express doesn't support attaching to a process so it looks like I need to upgrade.

The other thing I'm looking at is moving all the .vb files to the app_code folder and using codeSubDirectories for each assembly but this could be a little time consuming and I don't even know if it will work. I would they try to debug with web developer express instead of vb express.

Figures that microsoft will give you something for free but remove things like the ability to debug a dll! Who needs that?
