Debug fortran dll from Managed Code in Release mode

Thanks to the tutorial here, I can debug fortran dll from Managed code in debug mode.

And we all know that we can debug managed code in release mode provided that the pdb file exists.

But is it possible to debug a fortran dll from managed code in release mode?

Debugging any program requires cooperation from that program - most often in the form of the compiler and linker preparing it for debugging. So I do not think there is any possibility to do what you want.

If the DLL itself is prepared for debugging you may stand a chance, but I have no experience with that.

In the Fortran DLL project, set the property Debugging > Command to the name of the executable that will run your managed code program. Set a breakpoint in your DLL routine. Press F5 to start debugging. Your managed code program will start and, when it calls the DLL, the breakpoint should be hit.

This is not specific to managed code - you can use it with any executable (say, Excel.)
