[Mono-list] Debugging mono with VS2010

[Jonathan Chambers]

Francois,

You cannot debug managed code running in mono from within VS. You could use
MonoDevelop and the mono soft
debugger<http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:Runtime:Documentation:SoftDebugger>
to
debug the managed code at the same time that you are debugging the native
code in VS. If using MonoDevelop, I believe you will also need some minor
'hacks' to make it possible to debug an embedded mono. See detail in the
question here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9582365/debugging-w-embedded-mono-how-to-set-breakpoints-in-c-sharp-code

Also, if you are using the soft debugger at the same time as being attached
with the native VS debugger you may run into issues with SEH exceptions
being raised internally by the soft debugger. See solution I mentioned
here<https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5963>about using
AddVectoredExceptionHandler rather than
SetUnhandledExceptionFilter.

Thanks,
Jonathan
