How to run another process at debug mode?

Question

I am writing a windows service. This service runs another process I've developed through Process class methods, but I want to run this process on debug mode also, using breakpoints, for instance.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

When debugging a service, DebugBreak() is very nice. You can even debug the startup of the service, which can be very hard to time if you try to attach the process.

In C#

#if DEBUG
  System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
#endif

In C++

#if DEBUG
  System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
#endif
