Debug COM Add-in

[Brian]

Hi all. Can you set a breakpoint in VS.Net for a COM Add-in and debug? I'm reading the tutorial on this and it seems that you have to start visio in order for your add-in to run so I'm confused on if this would work? I won't have my development machine buit for a week so I can't try this out

Any other issues with COM Add-ins

Thanks
Brian

I've been working with Add-Ins (not a COM Add-In) and all I do in Visual Studio is compile my project, then click Debug and it prompts you for the path of the debug executable to kick off, at that point I enter the path to the visio.exe (ex: d:\visio\visio11\visio.exe) that then kicks off Visio.exe and when I select my AddIn it is already loaded from the debug version I've just compiled and I'm able to debug in Visual Studio. Hope this helps with your situation.
