Unable to debug COM server.

[KarthikonIT]

Hi,
I have created a plugin for Microsoft Outlook say OutlkPlugin.dll and created a COM server say OutlkEXE.exe. The Outlook plugin is loaded successfully and i am able to call the API's in COM server(OutlkEXE.exe) that was exposed through Interfaces from OutlkPlugin.dll

But i m UNABLE TO DEBUG my COM server(OutlkEXE.exe) by setting OUTLOOK.exe as executable.

Env:

1. I m able to debug my OUtlook Plugin - OutlkPlugin.dll by setting OUTLOOK.exe as executable.

2. both Outlook Plugin(OutlkPlugin.dll) & COM server(OutlkEXE.exe) are copied to
a common path in debug mode.

3. COM server is registered.

4. Technology used VC++.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One of the easiest approach is to place

DebugBreak();

in your DLL/EXE you want to debug. Run Outlook.exe, as usual, when program control reaches this code, it will show some dialog. From there you can debug.
