Local debugging using Microsoft Visual Studio​.NET

When performing local debugging, you have to decide between the tool provided by Visual Studio.NET or Microsoft Common Language Runtime (CLR) Debugger.

If the component resides on a PC that has Visual Studio.NET installed, you debug the component as follows:

1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio.NET on the host where the component is installed.

2. Select the Tools menu and select Debug Processes.

3. Select the BLTHost process that is hosting your application, and select Attach.

4. Select Managed, then select OK.

   Visual Studio.NET will attach to the process. You can then use the debugger to set a breakpoint in your code. If the local host does not have source code installed, and if your security and network provisions allow it, you can map a network drive to the Test and Development System and open a source code file from there. When you stop debugging or close Visual Studio.NET, the BLTHost process will terminate.
