Can I debug c# applications on my WinXPe platform? how can I do that?

I'm trying to debug Fbwf API so I can't debug on my XPpro machine...
 
You can either try remote debugging or install Visual Studio on the XPe
target. If you do the later, make sure the NULL device driver component is
in the XPe image so VS can be installed.

Hi Sean,

How can I try remote debugging I've no background on Visual Studio... and I
think that the second option could be quite slowly on my target. (AMD Geode
LX 800 with 512MB of RAM).

Best regards.
 
I have had some issue with .NET remote debug so I always install VS on XPe.
If the target CPU is slow then use Virtual PC as the target.

If you still want to do remote debug, you need to setup a trust between the
two computers and install the remote VS debug files on the XPe target. The
VS online help discusses the process.

I like the option of VM, I've read your WinXpEmbeddedSupplemetalToolKit book,
and it was something I want to test, so now I've one more reason for testing
it.

Best regards,

Hi,

I am Albert, a friend of Inaki.

I configured all necessary things to debug c# apps from an XP machine to an XPe one.

I configure in the Project Settings, that the debugging will be on a remote host.

After starting de debug, I can see how the debugging monitor accepts my connection, and the XPe machine seems to start doing something.

Finally, I have the XP machine with Visual Studio with the debug process started but on the XPe machine nothing else happens. My app has some window forms but they do not appear.

Any ideas?

Albert
