Inter-project debugging

Hello All,

I wrote a .dll in C++, and I'm calling it's funtions from a VB.NET
program. I have both the VB and the C++ projects in the same solution.

When I debug, I can step through the VB.NET program, but when I get to
the .dll function call, it just does a "Step Over" instead of stepping
*Into* my .dll's code, even though I have the .dll project as part of
the solution.

How can I make the program step into my .dll's code when I'm debugging?

Thanks!

Highlight the VB.Net project and choose 'Properties' from the menu. Then
click the 'Configuration Properties' folder and the 'Debugging' item below
it. Find the checkbox labeled "Unmanaged Code Debugging" and select the
option.

Be warned, this option is often painfully slow.

I've been asked to help debug a complex problem involving inter-frame references, so I just want to understand the elements involved with this.

Supposedly, if a user "sits" somewhere in this set of pages for several minutes and then tries to do...

Hi. I am trying a csharp sample from http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/socketsincs.asp . (Sorry I didn't post all the source codes here, please get the codes from above link if you want to try).

Sometimes, not always, the socket looks like ok, but really it is dead. I don't why it happens.

I have run an experiment to try to learn some things about floating point performance in managed C++. I am using Visual Studio 2003.

To attempt to do this I made a program that...

I need to communicate between two applications. The legacy application is in VB6. New development is in C#. Here's the scenario: The VB6 app will be pumping document files into a folder. We'll be writing a new (C#) class for this new feature. The C# Application (as distinct from the file pumper class just mentioned) needs notification for each file pumped into the folder in order to process the file.

Hi everyone! Here's the current scenario: I have a program in Python that computes something very fast (<1s), but it takes a considerable amount of time to read the startup data (>90s). Since the startup data is pretty static, I want this program to be resident and ready in memory all the time. The client-side of this program is a function in PostgreSQL. For the sake of simplicity, let's assume it is another program in Python that
