    Debugging DLLs

    I was wondering if anyone could help me with debugging visual basic dlls when they're being used by a web application.

    Thanks,
    Neil

    The DLL is deployed ??? Or are you talking debugging the VBP that will make up the DLL ?

    If it's the former, then you will need to change the DLL to write an output file to the server & append it with any error messages or warnings.

    If it's the latter, then with Visual Studio it's a nightmare, without Visual Studio, its impossible.....(IMHO)....

    It is indeed deployed. A person I work with told me you can set breakpoints within the code and that they would stop at these breakpoints even when the dll is deployed. It doesn't sound right to me, but I was taking his word on it and now he's started christmas vacation so I have no idea how to approach it...

    There's no way you can set any breakpoints within the code after compliation (least never heard of that !!!), if you want error output that you can read etc then your best method is to build an error handler which writes to a file information aobut the error : procedure in which it occurred, date/time it occurred & the specific err number & description.
