Debugging Dlls with VB 2005 Express

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am using VB 2005 Express. In exploring the product, I found that this
version of VB 2005 does not allow to debug Dlls. To debug my code, I thought
I would simply write a Windows application that would start AutoCAD, in
where the Dll code would be imported. But it does not work. For example the
following code will not result in adding a new command:

Imports ...
Public Class Class1
Public Sub Foo()
...
End Sub
End Class

Is conditional compilation of any hep, for example:

Imports ...
Public Class Class1

#if DLL then

Public Sub Foo()

#else

Public Foo()

#end if
...
End Sub
End Class

Or is there a better way of easing DLLs debugging with the Express edition ?

Thanks

There is a IDE called Sharpdevelop you can download for free that allows you
to debug .net dll's for acad
