Attach process at runtime in visual studio 2008
I have a wcf service which has to be unittested.
The wcf service is hosted in a console application.
In the unittest, i want the possibility to debug this wcf service.
For this, the process has to be attached to the visual studio(2008 in my case) debugger.
You just have to add a reference to EnvDTE, and to add the following pice of code. With that, visual studio attaches the given process to the current debug session.
EnvDTE.DTE dte2 = (EnvDTE.DTE)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.9.0");
EnvDTE.Debugger debugger = dte2.Debugger;
foreach (Process program in debugger.LocalProcesses)
{
if (program.Name.Contains("MyApp.exe"))
{
program.Attach();
}
}
It's handy, its easy and there is not a lot of documentation about it...
There are a lot of other EnvDTE(80/90) assemblys, and i guess they are for specific visual studio versions. But i don't see the benefit in using them.
