How to set up C++ debugging in Visual Studio for Flexsim5

I would like to setup debugging procedure in Visual Studio in the way as showed in the thread below:

But I cannot find flexsimexeB.txt in Flexsim5's install folder.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hello Hao Zhou,

I am not sure if it is (still) that complicated. If you already have the .dll file working with flexsim, I think it is sufficient to make sure that c++ generates debug information:

1. Open the project's Property Pages dialog box.
2. Click the Linker folder.
3. Click the Debug property page.
4. Modify the Generate Debug Info property. (to Yes)

Now after you have build the dll you can attach the program to flexsim

1. Tools>Attach to process...
2. select flexsim.exe
   

If you add a breakpoint and run the model, c++ will pop up as soon as it reaches the breakpoint. You can now step through the dll with F10.


Hope this helps you debugging your dll.

Hi Esther,

Thanks for your reply. I tried as you said, but it does not work.
But I did in a similar way as you. Now, it works well.

1. Open the project's Property Pages dialog box.
2. Click the Linker folder.
3. Click the Debugging property page.
4. Modify the Generate Debug Info property. (to Yes)
5. again, Property Pages --> configuration properities --> Debugging --> command
6. browse command to flexsim.exe.

Merry Christmas!
