debug component property

[R.A.F.]

Hi,

i've read that it is possible to debug custom control property, by
adding in debug features (of the solution/project) :

- start external program => set to devenv.exe (Visual studio exe)
- command lines arguments => the *.sln file

so when i run it, it opens a new VS instance and start to run my control
create on the form...

however, when i change the value of property i want to debug, i'm not
able to enter in debug mode, even if a breakpoint is inserted.

what do i do wrong ?

thanks a lot,

RAF

RAF,

Instead of doing what you are doing, why not create another project and
host an instance of the control on your form which accesses the property,
and then debug that?

Hi Nicholas,

if i do that i can not debug the design time support of my control... :-(
