I have a project in VC++ 6.0 where there is an exe and a InProc COM Dll. I want to be able to place a breakpoint somewhere in the InProc COM DLL, but VC++ won’t allow me to set a breakpoint.

I have the source code for this DLL, however I cannot figure out how I can place a breakpoint in the code and the debug it?

Can someone help me.

    1. Attach to the process
    2. Open Project->Settings (Alt+F7)
    3. Open Debug tab, category Additional DLLs
    4. Add you in-proc server DLL
    5. Save .opt file on closing the debugger

    This way next time you attach to process or manually open the .opt file, your in-proc server DLL gets loaded, its PDB gets parsed, last open source files get loaded, breakpoints get loaded.

    The reason why “additional dlls” setting is needed here is because you in-proc server doesn’t get loaded until an instance of his is CoCreated. So the debugger doesn’t load its PDB file and the source files are treated as unknown text files, so the breakpoints in them get inactive (white).
