Debugging a C++ extension using Visual Studio

For debugging the extension in Visual Studio you should:

• In the project properties - Options -> Debugger:
  • Set Command: C:/Program Files/ENCY Software/ENCY/Bin64/ency.exe;
  • Set Parameters: /EXTENSION_DEBUG_FOLDER=\"${workspaceFolder}/project/main/bin/Debug. Instead of ${workspaceFolder} specify the full path to the directory with an example.
• Copy the settings.json file to the bin\debug directory.

This means that selecting Start debugging (F5):

• Visual Studio your project, placing the DLL in the path specified in the project settings;
• C:/Program Files/ENCY Software/ENCY/Bin64/ency.exe is launched with the parameter /EXTENSION_DEBUG_FOLDER="${workspaceFolder}/project/main/bin/Debug";
• ENCY, in addition to the extensions already registered, analyzes the directory ${workspaceFolder}/project/main/bin/Debug, loading just compiled dll file according to the settings.json file;
• Your breakpoints in Visual Studio will be hit as your extension is used in the ENCY application.
