Debugging app compiled with Visual Studio 6.0 with Visual Studio 2010

I am trying to debug a project developed in visual studio 2010 and it loads VC++6 (VisualStudio 6) DLLs. Unfortunately I am unable to see the VC++6 DLL process under "Attach to process".

When I searched on the net I found the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cta4x5hc(v=vs.80).aspx article and it suggested to add /ASSEMBLYDEBUG when building vc++6 DLL. But then I get "Command line开发者_运维知识库 warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '/ASSEMBLYDEBUG' ".

So can some one tell me whether it is possible to debug a VC++6 DLL from visual studio 2010.

you do not need to attach. DLL is loaded into host process. So just start debugging you project that loads the dll. if you have pdb and source code of the dll, you will be able to set breakpoint in dll code.

The DLL's wont show up as a "process" in the debugger, they're part of the process that loads and uses the DLL's (i.e. the main application).

So yes, you can debug them with VS2010, you can just launch the app written in VS2010 (or attach to it in the debugger) and you should see the DLL's loaded in that.
