Debugging OutLook

[Luis D Rojas]

Hi, i have configured VS.NET to start outlook when the debugging starts ( i´m
using C# ). it starts and i can debug my app, but sudenlly no debugging is
produced, so it does not stop where i want, even when i´m using the same file.
Any Ideas on this?

thanks in advance

where did you set your breakpoints and what debugging should produced ?
Check in the Visual Studio CommandBar, if your active configuration shows
debug, not release.

Yes, I have it in debug mode.
I´ve been debugging the app, and it loads outlook, then it stops at the
onstartupcomplete method.
But suddenly, it stops doing the breakpoints, and if click some other button
that i have inside outlook for the same prohects, .NET does nothing but
putting a ? mark inside the BP and says no symbols loaded

thanks

Hello Luis,

then your AddIn is detached from Outlook process.
I t seems that you have an exception someware and no errorhandling,
or the exception is caught and you have no logging or notification.

Wich Outlook Version do you have and how did you created your AddIn ?
OL2003 and VS.Net Shared AddIn Wizard ?
yes-> have you removed the reference to office.dll and added the correct
reference to COM Office Object Library ?

Maybe that helps, and always use try / catch to trap errors.

Hi Helmut,
I think you are right, the outlook is not being attached. It is very weird,
and i do not understand exactly what is going on. I start it, OL Starts, i
have a break point in every function i have ( all the functions have try
catch ), and then nothing happens
If i Start the Add on using F10 it does not stop loads OL until the
recieving mail process is finished
What is more Weird to me, is that Outlook is still attached, since i go and
press the stop button in VS.NET; OL2003 closes.
I think it is not loading the symbols for my add on! any suggestions on that?

thanks for your help

Hello, check the registry-settings for your AddIn, loadbehavior should be 3
If your OnConnection Method isn't called, then your addin wouldn't be
loaded.
Did you replaced the reference to Office.dll ?

Hi Hemut,
Yes, i replace the dll reference, and the load behavior is 3
It is now working, i´m not sure what i´ve done to fix it but i have an idea(
i tried a lot of things and maybe was a combination of some of them )
but i think the main problem is that i have to solutions and i usually work
on both sometimes a the same time, since both are Add ons, both have a
Connect.cs file, so i guess the compiler got confused or something ( this
cause is document in the Debugging newsgroup ). I renamed the Connect file of
the other project to connect1.cs, and restart .NET and it worked, besides, i
added more code to file, and it compiled and worked

Thanks for your patience and attention.
If something happens again i´ll let you know

Best Regards
