如何将Visual Studio附加到远程计算机上进程的子进程？

Question

When I run a process on remote machine, say A.exe, it spawns child processes, lets say, childA.exe.

What I'd like to do is, I want visual studio to kick in (hit a breakpoint) as soon as childA.exe is spawned ?

I looked around and figured out, one cannot debug, child processes of a parent process in visual studio. That is, if I put a breakpoint in code and launch A.exe; when childA.exe starts executing, it won't hit that breakpoint.

PS: I'm using visual studio 2008. If it helps, I can also use vs 2010.

You need to setup visual studio remote debugger in the remote machine. And do remote debugging.
