How to open a reference file when I debug a project

[ahawk]

Hi, All,
I'm a beginner of Vb.net. My solution(A) has reference
another object (solution B), so when I debug( trace) my
program step by step, the system opens the class code of
solution B. My question is how can I add breakpoint
somewhere of one clsss of solution B (open it in Solution
A environment) and when I trace the Solution A, the
system will stop at break-point. I don't want to trace
the code one step by step to open a class in Solution B
every time, just want to open it in Solution A and add
breakpoint. is it possible? if it's possible, please tell
me how.

Thanks and have a good weekend

Ahawk,

It is not so clear in my opinion what your tell.
Do you mean that you have two projects running which you want to debug in
the same time?

Well, you'r really confused

I think that what you want is:

- Compile B in Debug mode (a .pdb will be created).
- From A reference the debug version of B.
- Running A you will be able to step thru B's code.

Clearly, you have two solutions, when you probably only need one solution
with two projects.

A solution is just a collection of projects. It doesn't actually do
anything when it comes to the compiler. Visual Studio cares (but Visual
Studio is an IDE, not a compiler). The C# compiler only cares about
projects, and will produce a single assembly for each project.

Therefore, you can have project A in solution A, as well as in solution B
and solution C.

So, to meet your needs, since you are debugging project B in the context of
project A, perhaps you should have a single solution with both projects in
it.

Solution A contains
Project A
Project B

Solution B contains
Project B
