Debugging DLL

Hello,

Debugging (flexsim.com)
I tried first method but got error while Visual Studio opening flexsim.exe.

Exception thrown at 0x000000018073B6B0 (flexsim.dll) in flexsim.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000228.


Second method (Attach to Process) works fine.

I use Module SDK to build DLL.

FlexSim 22.1.0

Yes, you cannot open FlexSim from Visual Studio. You need to start it as an external application, then attach VS as debugger after it has fully started.

But as I read from user manual, the first method allows Visual Studio to lanuch FlexSim.

Perhaps I have something wrong in Visual Studio settings, or this method is no longer available for latest FlexSim?

The documentation you reference is out of date. I will add an issue to the dev list to update it. @Mischa Spelt is correct, you need to launch FlexSim, and then attach Visual Studio to the main FlexSim process.
