Debugging in Visual Studio 2005

My 1st post!

I am starting out, playing with the tutorial plugin. I am trying to debug by setting breakpoints, not sure how to get it to execute from the VS debugger. I have followed the instructions in the programmers guide, but no joy. Does the code need to be within the Illustrator directory?

I am currently testing my changes by copying the generated .aip file to the Plugin folder.

Thanks
Adam.

This is the way I have done it. I copy a version of my plugin to Illustrator's appropriate plugin folder. Then with the plugin in debugger I do a F5, i.e. Debugger | Go. The Visual Studio 2005 IDE will then prompt you for the path of the executable. Browse for Illustrator exe (i.e. ai.exe) on your hard disk. It will complain about ai.exe not having debug info, etc. Just dismiss the box and continue with debugging. That should do it!
