[TRNSYS-users] Debugging TRNSYS using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010

[David BRADLEY]

Sleiman,
   There are a few things that you need to do. First, you need to take a 
copy of the TRNDll out of the ..\Trnsys16\Compilers\Ivf111\TRNDll\Debug\ 
directory and move it into the ..\Trnsys16\Exe directory. In order to 
debug, your DLLs all have to be in debug mode. As soon as you move the 
debug version of TRNDll.dll into the ..\Exe directory, TRNSYS will start 
looking for external DLLs in the ..\Trnsys16\UserLib\DebugDLLs\ 
directory (instead of in the ..\Trnsys16\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ directory. 
Next, you need to change your DLL compile/link project from "release 
mode" to "debug mode" using the configuration manager. Last, you need to 
edit your compiler solution's properties. Select "ProjectName 
properties" from the "Project" menu. Select the "debugging" entry under 
"configuration properties" and then enter

c:\Program Files\Trnsys16\Exe\TRNExe.exe

in the "command" window.

There may be some other settings that you need to modify; I am not sure 
how you generated the project that you are using to compile and link 
your DLL.
Kind regards,
  David
