Defining a New Debugger Type

See Also

If the debuggers provided with the IDE do not suit your development tasks, you can define a new debugger type and use it as your default debugger. The new debugger type can call a new process or an existing process with different property settings.

To define a new debugger type:

  1. From the main menu, choose Tools and choose Options.
  2. In the Options window, expand the Debugging and Executing node.
  3. Right-click the Debugger Types node and choose New and choose debugging service.
  4. In the wizard, type a name for the debugger and click Finish.
  5. In the Options window, expand the Debugger Types node and select the debugger type you just created.
  6. On the property sheet, modify the debugger's properties to your preferred settings.
Tip The IDE creates a new debugger type with basic property settings. To create a new debugger type with an existing debugger's properties, right-click the existing debugger type in the Options window and choose Copy. Then right-click the Debugger Types node and choose Paste and choose Copy.
