debuging assemblies - source code

Craig

I have an assembly that I compile on my machine with debugging symbols on.
So when I add a reference to it and call one of its method, I can "step into"
the assembly code. Now, I take the assembly and send it to my friend
sitting in the cube next to me, and when he tries to step into the assembly,
he can't, because even though he has the source code, I believe the assembly
is pointing to an exact path to the source code. Can my friend do something
to have the assembly point to the path where he has the source code, or does
it have to be the same path name that I had when I compiled the assembly?

figured it out:
while debugging (and no symbols loaded for the given assembly), go to the
"Modules" windows, for me it was under Debug->Windows->Modules. Find the
assembly in question, right click on that row, and select reload symbols,
browse to the ".pdb" file for the assembly and select that. Then, whenever
you try to step into the assembly's code, it will ask you for the location of
the *.cs file you're trying to step into.

Signing Assemblies with Key File (snk) Practices

by: Joel Leong | last post by:

I wish to know the industrial practices for signing assemblies with key files. I genereted a key file to sign my assemblies. Should I sign all my assemblies with a single key files or I shall generate one key file for each assembly? Perhaps, I should generate a key file per group of related assemblies?

Single or multiple assemblies in big apps?

by: Claudio Pacciarini | last post by:

Hi everyone, I have a question about .NET code sharing and reuse, and also about application design best practices / guidelines. Currently, we have many different .NET projects in source depot. Although they are different, in some of them we share C# code by referencing source files that are external (not part of the projects) on each project. For instance, some of our projects have the typical â€œsourcesâ€ file with:

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
