Back in the days of building VB 6.0 DLLs, you could run your DLL
project, and from another app or IDE instance, set a reference to this
interpreted-environment DLL for live testing and stepping through the
code. I'm apparently missing something little that's preventing me
from doing this. I've got a class project, and I've got its Debugging
property set to Wait to Attach to an External Process (I've tried others
too), but regardless of what I try, I expected to see this appear in the
"Projects" tab of the Add Reference window.

I've also tried attaching to the devenv process of the IDE with the DLL
running. No luck there, at least with what I was doing.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Ahh, you know, I decided to give it a try again, and instead, I loaded
both the DLL and Web App into the same solution (multiple projects).
Then, I was able to set a reference to a project and I can step into
each for debugging. That's the answer!

Thanks Mitch.

    Christopher,

    Are you compiling using the "Debug" configuration, look at
    the top-middle of the VS.NET IDE. Also, you need to set a
    break-point in your code so that the IDE knows where to
    step in and start debugging, unless of course it throws
    and exception in which case the IDE will step in (from
    memory - my code never throws exceptions - I wish!).

    What type of application in referencing the assembly
    that you want to debug? ASP.NET? Windows Service? Serviced
    Component? May help further diagnosis to know this.

    You didn't explicitly say it, so I'll also ask, are you
    going to the Tools | Debug Processes menu (CTRL-ALT-P) and
    actually attaching to the process you want debug?
