Hi,
I have some source and a dll produced in Visual C++ V6. My
question is this :-

Is it possible to use this in .NET such as C# or VB and also use the symbol
table and source code for debugging.

My gut feeling is it is not possible, but I would like that confirmed and if
possible the reason why.

Hopefully someone out there can help.

Many Thanks

Yes. Interoperation between the managed and unmanaged environments is a
large topic. See this for example:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cp
conconsumingunmanageddllfunctions.asp

The IDE's debugger is capable of debugging both managed and unmanaged code.
In fact, you can use it to debug scripts too.

Thanks for your help. Do you know how I can set this up in VB.NET ?

You are welcome.

Nope. I would _guess_ that someone reading

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

should be able to tell you.

On the startup project, enable 'Unmanaged code debugging' in the Debugging Configuration Properties.
