How do I attach a process to the debugger in Visual Studio?

Question

I know I can start a process in code with Process.Start(). Is it also possible to attach the debugger to that process?

Not from code per se ,

Answer 1

You can do this in your code.

public static void Attach(DTE2 dte)
        {
            var processes = dte.Debugger.LocalProcesses;
            foreach (var proc in processes.Cast().Where(proc => proc.Name.IndexOf("YourProcess.exe") != -1))
                proc.Attach();
        }

        internal static DTE2 GetCurrent()
        {
            var dte2 = (DTE2)Marshal.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.12.0"); // For VisualStudio 2013

            return dte2;
        }

Usage:

Attach(GetCurrent());
