My project in BCB enviorment consist of my application and this DLL - is there any way i can debug also in the DLL in the BCB ide, when im loading it the way i am ? thanks.

Yes, i have an excutable and some DLL's which I am able to debug. (made in CBuilder 6). With the Dll select Run->Parameters and fill in the application. If placed both project in a project-group, debugging of both the dll and the executable is possible.

Sure. As long as the debug information (TDS) is in the same directory as the DLL the debugger will find it and you can step into the DLL code without any action on your part. In fact you're more likely to have a problem not realising that you are looking at DLL code since the transition is seamless. The only issue is that breakpoints within the DLL will be shown as disabled until the DLL has actually been loaded. Breakpoints can still be set though exactly as you would in your EXE. -- Andrue Cope [Bicester UK] Back to top Andrue Cope Guest Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2004 3:06 pm    Post subject: Re: Debugging a BCB DLL loaded with "LoadLibary" On Wed, 3 Mar 2004 15:39:42 +0100, Hans Zandbergen wrote: Quote: If placed both project in a project-group, debugging of both the dll and the executable is possible. It's possible without doing that. As long as the TDS is in the same directory as the DLL the debugger will find it and give you the same freedom to debug the DLL as it does the EXE. -- Andrue Cope [Bicester UK] Back to top Cult Guest Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2004 3:17 pm    Post subject: Re: Debugging a BCB DLL loaded with "LoadLibary" thanks all - yep, its working like a charm ;) Back to top Andrue Cope Guest Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2004 4:30 pm    Post subject: Re: Debugging a BCB DLL loaded with "LoadLibary" On Wed, 3 Mar 2004 16:17:37 +0100, Cult wrote: Quote: thanks all - yep, its working like a charm Just remember which project is which when you edit the source code. Many's the time I have fixed a bug in the DLL then rebuilt the EXE and wondered why the fix didn't work. I have a feeling I'm not alone here -- Andrue Cope [Bicester UK] Back to top Tim Reago Guest Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2004 7:45 pm    Post subject: Re: Debugging a BCB DLL loaded with "LoadLibary" Quote: It's possible without doing that. As long as the tds is in the same directory as the dll the debugger will find it and give you the same freedom to debug the dll as it does the exe. On occassion I've noticed that even if the tds is in the same directory and even after full rebuilds, BCB5 won't stop in the dll. In those cases, adding the dll to View | Debug Windows | Modules | Right Click | Add Module..., was the only solution. And some other times debugging works like the dll is part of the exe. Cause for variation, unknown to me.

Cause for variation, unknown to me. are you running XP? if the dll was relocated at load time, then the BCB5 debugger won't know the path of the dll (the debugging notifcation doesn't include the information in this case). without the path, it becomes rather impossible to find the tds file, so you get no symbols.
