I've followed all the forum posts to try to get it to work but I can't seem to get it to work. I've made an argument in another post of why the new express versions are superior to the older versions so it would be great if you can help me out with this.
I'm configured as follows:
- Win7 64
- MS.Net 64
- Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012

Re: Debugging with Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012
Hello GTrader,
We have no problems with debugging using Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012 in our environment.
Please describe your actions step by step and specify what exactly does not work so that we can help you. It would be helpful if you could attach screenshots or video demonstrating the setup procedure and the problem itself (for ex. you can use Screencast to capture it).

Re: Debugging with Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012
Thanks for getting back to me Henry. I worked on it late last night and was able to get it working on my laptop but not my desktop. I am using the exact same process on each.
When I set the breakpoints it tells me that it will not stop because "symbols have not been loaded for this document".
I googled it and tried a bunch of different things but haven't been able to fix it.
Any ideas?

Hi GTrader,
I have had the same issue using VS2010 with Windows 8. My problem got solved after taking the following steps:
- I installed the "official" .NET Framework 3.5 from control panel -> programs and features -> Turn Windows features on or off
- let windows make some updates after installing .NET framework (including some VS updates)
- compiled the project in PL.NET Editor
- lauched VS2010 from PL.NET Editor
Hope this helps.

Hi GTrader,
Very welcome, I see the topic is solved. I am very curious for future reference if the last 2 steps were the ones to fix it or did you find another way?

Re: Debugging with Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012
Hello GTrader,When I set the breakpoints it tells me that it will not stop because "symbols have not been loaded for this document".
Please try the following:
1) Detach Visual Studio from MultiCharts.Net.exe
2) Recompile the study you are debugging in PLEdtior
3) Attach Visual Studio to MultiCharts.Net.exe
4) Set the breakpoints
If that did not help then recompile the study in PLEdtior while VS is attached to MC.
Re: Debugging with Visual Studio Express for Desktops 2012 [SOLVED]
Just got home and tried it and it worked. I have 2 other suggestions that helped for me.
a) don't set the breakpoints until after you attach to the MCCharts.exe process
b) just changing the status of the indicator did not work the first time. I had to close the workspace and reopen it to hit the breakpoint.
Thanks again for all your help guys.
