debug IVF compiled DLL from within VB.Net2005Express

[jlkittle]

after compiling my dll in IVF i copied the .dll and .pdb to the bin folder of my vb project. debug format information is 'Full (/Zi) in the property page for the dll project.

i'd like to be able to step through the fortran code during a debug session of the vb application. in the vb ide, i pause at the line before the fortran library call, then step into (F11). no fortran, just successful completion of the fortran subroutine.

i know the dll is the correct one as i wrote a new message in my fortran to my fortran debug file.

thanks in advance for any help!

compiling the IVF dll (with output going directly to my VB bin folder) from within a VS2005 solution that contains my VB and fortran leads to more files in the VB bin folder (.dll, .dll.embed.manifest, .dll.embed.mainest.rc, .dll.intermediate.manifest, .exp, .lib). no new .pdb.

in a pane in the VS IDE showing the hoped for breakpoint in my fortran code is a triangle/explanation with a tooltip saying 'The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.'

In ordinary circumstances, all you would need to do is set Debugging > Enable Unmanaged Code Debugging in the VB project properties to "Yes". However, I don't know if this is available in VB Express and I know that there is no Fortran integration into VB Express's IDE.

Setting Debugging > Enable Unmanaged Code Debugging in both the VB startup project and the VB project calling the fortran does the trick in VS2005. That will work for us.

Thanks for your help!
