Start External Program

[texas1992]

I have created a dll that I need to run from within another program. In VS2008 there was a property that you could set called Start External Program. I am using VS2010 Express and can not find that property.

How can I get this to work for debugging the dll code?

Thanks.

Express editions doesn't have such option. You could set up a 'External Tool' from Tools menu.

If the app is your own development project you could create a solution and add both to it, and set app as startup project.

Add a reference to the external dll and start it from within your program, by what ever method suites your needs.

That is actually the opposite of what is asked here, which is from the dll project point of view. And for that the Express edition can only provide the two options I suggested.
