I have code written in .net that only fails when installed as a windows service. The failure doesn't allow the service to even start. I can't figure out how I can step into the OnStart method. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7a50syb3%28VS.80%29.aspx gives a tantalizing clue: Attaching to the service's process allows you to...

The javascript command 'debugger;' will start a debugger. debugger; But (with Visual Studio 2008 installed) I cannot seem to figure out how to get this to break into the IE8 debugger.

Hey fellas. I have an application that is designed to be run across a network. This means that the initial run of this application can take a while. So I've been putting together a splash screen to pretty the process up some. It uses threading to show the form via a static method. I'm still something of a threading novice, so when I go...
I have two ASP.NET projects in my solution, and run on different localhost ports when I start debugging. I have a generic handler in site A, which is called by site B: String url = "http://localhost:1234/UrlOnSiteA.ashx"; WebClient client = New WebClient(); client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials; client.OpenRead(...
Hi all, Is it possible to set environmental variables in a build profile as opposed to setting them in the command line? For instance, I want to enable the debugger when I'm using my test environment (-Denv=test). I want maven to do this: export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=...
Is there any other debugger that tries to give some more graphical representation of datastructures after hitting a breakpoint? I'm planning to write a Debugger myself and would like to see what the competition can do. Especially for (dynamically typed) script languages i think it would be nice as often you can only guess what data is e...
Hi everyone, I've stumbled onto a very interesting issue where a function (has to deal with the Windows clipboard) in my app only works properly when a breakpoint is hit inside the function. This got me wondering, what exactly does the debugger do (VS2008, C++) when it hits a breakpoint? ...
I'm using iPod Touch 2G as a developement device with Xcode 3.1.3. When I try to trace the execution on the device from a breakpoint in the debugger I get EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION, EXC_BAD_ACCESS or some error with debugger not being able do disassemble something. The same thing will work properly on iPhone Simulator. Previously I've been abl...
Can anyone recommend a good Fortran debugger for the mac (other than installing gdb, etc, via fink or macports)? ...
Hello! I need to debug the program with gdb (the program itself is Qt GUI program compiled with MinGW). Particularly, program hangs at some points and I need to examine call stack. But pressing Ctrl+C seems to behave strangely -- at some points not working at all. For example, if program shows a dialog box, and I press Ctrl+C, gdb does n...
I have an application that has two distinct parts, one operation that process data and adds it to a database and a second operation that retrieves the data and makes a report. Is there a way to tell the debugger to start at the second operation of the application? Previously I've commented out what I didn't want to run and worked aroun...
Dear ladies and sirs. I know that this attribute should work in C# and yet, in my case it does not. I have a class with a lazy property Children. Accessing this property may have a side effect of roundtripping to the server. So, naturally, I do not want this to happen when I just watch it in the debugger watch window. Omitting all the ...
Hi. An MFC, C++ application I'm working on seems to be throwing an exception deep inside a device driver. (It's an access violation writing to a NULL pointer from the looks of things. The details of the crash are not what is interesting me right now, however...) I can get the Visual Studio Debugger to break when the exception occurs ...
Why might simple changes to code fail to update? The 'hot code replace' message appears as usual when making big changes, but changing a println string, or commenting out a method call sometimes does nothing, and the app has to be restarted to apply the change. I think it may have something to do with native calls, but other than that th...
