The new instructions certainly helped me. I was trying to learn the whole Visual Studio environment and found too many complexities. For example, once you have a project, how do you do version control to enable roll backs. Git? Another system to learn a system to get to debugging! I learned to program in the 70's using teletypes and punch cards! I have picked up C++ and ACSIL on my own, and with the help of the excellent documentation and the support board. I find Notepad++ to be more than adequate, with its multiple views, plugins, and direct use of the files and filenames. Debugging with the message log can be useful until it is not. I needed to be able to see the flow and how variables change more easily. I didn't know I could merely open the source code of the previously debug-compiled DLL in Visual Studio and do my debugging. The extra steps of releasing and loading DLLs take a little getting used to, but not a big deal. Thanks for the shortcut! |
