[Help] In Process Debugging

[opulent]

I want to change things up and start doing things using managed libraries. The problem is, i can't seem to find an efficient method to debug.

Some info on what I have managed to do so far:

• - Injected a native C++ module into the target process (in this case wow).
• - The injected C++ module starts the CLR and calls a function from a managed C#.dll library.
• - The above mentioned function installs an endscene detour.
• - The endscene detour is confirmed to be hit 30-40 times per second via .txt logging.

Logging would prove to be extremely tedious and it would be really nice if i had the option to step through the code in VS2008.

Is this at all possible?

On a side note:

Info on Debugging a C++ injected .dll module using VS2008:

I'm extremely embarrassed to admit that this took me a really long time to figure out, so I'm going to share it here.

• - With .dll source open in VS2008 and breakpoints set; Goto debug -> Attach to process -> Choose Wow
• - Using preferred method of injection, Load the above module into process.
• - Provided the module is called properly by the process, a breakpoint will be hit in Visual Studio thus initiating the debugging process.

I'm not really sure what you're asking, but yes this is very possible and common right now. The WoW memory editing sub-forum has some good stuff on it.

The Wow memory editing sub-forum has content related to Wow memory editing...

My issue is programming - Visual Studio related, specifically, how to set up visual studio to debug a managed class library which is called by a boot-leg native C++ .dll as described above.

Any information would be much appreciated, I've been at this for two weeks and despite a few hours of reading here and there I'm really no closer to a solution.

Tools -> Attach to Process.

Just make sure your current code project is open. And you can debug it mostly the same way as usual from within VS. (Be careful not to sit on breakpoints for too long, especially in WoW)
