VS2015如何在其他项目中获得断点

Question

I am using visual studio 2015 to develop Program A.

It makes use of a new general hardware Library B which is also in development, but in a different project.

.

In visual studio while i have opened A, I've added existing project B. So project A, has B as a .dll reference and can make use of compiled B code. B provides its own typical class, with its own defined namespace etc.

Sometimes I need to fix or test new things in library B. So that A can use a new or updated function written in B. To use use a new function I do a batch compile of A and B. If the new function compiles OK and works, then so far so good no problems.

But Sometimes things are not OK and don't work as supposed, and I need to check what happens inside B when running aplication A. However if I set a breakpoint in the B project, nothing happens ???.

How can I set a breakpoint in B, wile I am testing A.

PS, I have "just my code" disabled.

This sounds like no symbols loaded for the module in project B. To ensure symbols are loaded, be sure you have the correct pdb for the module and add the path to that pdb to your symbols path under Debug->Settings->Symbol settings. Also, under the same menu you can either select "load all symbols" or"load only select" and add the name of the module to the list of modules.
