Hi,

First of all you are in the vb.net forum.

Saying that, in c# or vb or wathever language, you cannot debug com objects if you do not have source code (if you do not developed probably (99%) you will not have)

[vinaykumar]

i am having the source code with me.

Just i need to debug along with my .Net application


Please send me reply fast as it is urgent for me


Waiting for the replies

The you should add the dll project to the solution,

FIle->add->project

the you will have two projects on the same solution and you can debug both.

[vinaykumar]

This is the following .Net code


private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

Button1.Text="test";
Project1.Class1Class cls = new Project1.Class1Class();
cls.showButtonValue();
}


Project1.Class1Class is a class in com component.

i put the debug point in the Button and com component when i click the button , After going into the line

Button1.Text="test"

it should debug the com component for

cls.showButtonValue();


so that i can check whats happening



Please let me know if any doubts

[josep]

You should go to the class

in the method showbuttonvalue() and put a breakpoint there on the first line of code for this method.

By the way this is a VB forum not a C forum

[vinaykumar]

Though i kept the break point it is not working

I tried this with Vb2005 .But unable to reslove it

[josep]

A Project must be in debug mode to use breakpoints

You can change on the 'configuration manager' on the 'build' menu entry

Boss

For .Net code debugging is working fine


for the vb code it is not redirecting to the VB Code .

i want to know how to debug a com component in .Net?


Anyway thanks for the reply

Man,

Finally I got you

I think is not possible to debug that, because the debug feature only can control what is in the the devolpment environment; your class is outside it does not matter if you have the source code or not.


You have two options
-use a dummy project on VB6 to test all functionality for this COM object; once it works perfectly the add to a .net project
-Imports your com object to .NET (it is not as simple as making cofee) and create a .NET dll with the functionality of your com object.

[vinaykumar]

i added the COM class to the .net application.so debug environment can find it and it is not a right thing to convert them into .net dlls .


Waiting for any suggestions
