I want to attach to a process(a.exe) as soon as it is spawned, is it doable with VS? I only know the name of the process. Actually what I want to accomplish is set a breakpoint in c# code, but the code is belonging to another executable which will be launched by current running application(c.exe). The code is inside the initialize period so it is impossible for me to do the attach manually.
When I’ve faced this situation before (and I controlled both processes), I found a decent workaround is to put a call to Debugger.Launch() in the spawning process’ entry point. VS will then pop up a dialog box and let you attach to the process.
