Cannot step into unmanaged code from managed code

[Smith]

I have a project with an unmanaged ATL Smart Device project and a .NET CF
PocketPC 2003 SE application.
I cannot step into my unmanaged COM object's code from the .NET application.

Is managed-to-unmanaged debugging supported or not with Visual Studio .NET
Beta2?

Thanks.

AFAIK step-through is not supported. You should be able to debug either
managed or unmanaged.

Actually step into is not supported with Smart Devices _at all_ (with VS
2005 Beta2 at least).
If I create an MFC application in a first project, have another ATL DLL
project and set up a reference between the two, I will still be unable to
step into the ATL DLL code.

(Meaning that I really don't know how to debug ATL libraries)

Not true. You could do this even in eVC 3. All you need is to tell debugger
to preload DLL's symbols (iin the project properties "Load these additional
DLLs")

I can see this with eVC 4 in the project settings.
With VS .NET 2005 Beta2 I don't see anything like that.
Looks like a bug, or worse: a limitation.
That's pretty bad because I can't think of a workaround.
