How to wait until remote .NET debugger attached
Solution 1:
You can use the System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached property to check if a debugger is attached to the process. This application will wait until a debugger has been attached:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;
namespace DebugApp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Waiting for debugger to attach");
while (!Debugger.IsAttached)
{
Thread.Sleep(100);
}
Console.WriteLine("Debugger attached");
}
}
}
Solution 2:
This sounds like exactly what you need:
Debugger.Launch();
