Debug Secondary Tiles (attaching debugger)

Question

How do you attach the debugger to the Windows Emulator (or Device) to debug runs from Secondary Tiles?

I'm created a secondary tile but it has some problems loading the data and I can quite figure out what is going wrong. How can i attach to the process so i can debug it?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can't. A click on a live-tile doesn't resume the previous instance, but creates a new one (or resets the navigation-stack, from a users perspective it's the same)

But considering that a Live Tile is nothing but a URI, I see no reason you need to click on the actual tile to test the functionality of such a URI. You could simply change the NavigationPage property of the DefaultTask in the WMAppManifest.xml, to be the URI your tile is meant to open with.

If you have a specialized functionality related to your tile, you should tell us, so we can give a more detailed answer.
