Hi!

Is it posibble to debug project which is on other machine that I work
now? I've got some problem on server that is away from me and I have to
debug not on my machine but those machine. It is posibble to do this
using Visual Studio .Net 2003?

Thanks for answer!

Marcin,

It is possible as long as you have two-way DCOM communication with that
machine and as long as the remote debugging components have been installed
on it. You can find instructions for installing the remote debugging
components in the RemoteComponents.htm file located on CD1 of VS.NET.

If you don't have the ability to debug that machine, you can always use
cordbg to debug it. Cordbg ships with the .NET Framework SDK and allows
you to attach to the process and step though code in a command line
debugger. It is nowhere near as user-friendly as VS.NET, and it requires
some technical knowledge to use it, but it is possible. We do it from time
to time here.

Hope that helps.
