Coding > Is it possible to setup the VBA debugger with MSVC++ .NET?

Hi,

Is it possible to setup the VBA debugger with MSVC++ .NET? If so how would I do this?

Thanks.

No. The VBA debug stub only supports GDB, the GNU debugger; the protocol used by the Microsoft debugger is totally different.

So I guess I have to use Eclipse right?

No idea; Eclipse and VS are the only IDEs I've used. Something else might support GDB. You can also use GDB standalone through Insight.

Eclipse is very, very good, though.

No$GBA work pretty well too.

If I were to use Eclipse, would I use 2.1 or 3.0? (Someone was saying they had to downgrade for some reason)

No$GBA, is the debugger the "DOS" version? If so, i'm not quite sure how to use it...

No, there's now a freeware and minimal pay debugger version that supports windows just fine. It's what I use 99% of the time (but I am very confortable with assembly op-codes, YMMV)
