VC6.0 and VS.NET co-existence question
-
I have both Visual Studio 6.0 and .NET (2003) versions installed on my PC. I am running an application (compiled for debug but not running under the debugger) and it throws an exception. The OS picks .NET as the debugger but I would like it to pick VC++6.0 as the debugger. Where is this setting?

I am not sure of the setting but I would say that I have installed .net 2003 just to debug my vc6 applications with the .net debugger. As is a lot better than the one with vc6 especially if you want to do remote debugging. One way to use the .net debugger is to load your project with it .net and let it upgrade to .net then exit. It will create a .sln and .vcproj for .net to load, don't worry it will not trash your .dsp or .dsw files so you still can compile and develop with vc6. I do this all the time. John
