How to debug for a service app and a com app?

[wangdave]

I developed a service app and a component dll with VC6.0.
In the service app, I called the component via COM interface. Now, I have to debug for this service app and component app.

I want to insert a breakpoint in the component's code.
How to do?

Thanks.

Hi,

In your component project, flag your line with breakpoint. Then, launch the debug mode (F5). VC6 gonna ask you for an executable file. You may use your own tool that launches this com component. When your component will be called on the breakpointed line, VC6 will give you the hand.

But my executable is a service app,developed with VC6.0,too. How to launch it for component app debug?
Thank you.

If I were U, I'd try ta get out my code from the service and prepare a small executable that launch the com with the right params...

Yes, I got my core code from service app and prepare a small executable. But that bug disappears when debuging with the small executable,while it actually exists when running with taht service app.
Anyway, thank you.
I will try another way.

Try inserting a DebugBreak() statement, somewhere near the code you want to debug (somewhere in the service exe).

This is maybe not the most elegant solution, but I think it works. At least try it!
