Visual Studio 2005 : Entrek CodeSnitch issue

Hi everyone,

I'm using the 3rd party tool CodeSnitch from Entrek. I've been using this tool for my development on eVC++ 4.0. I now have some issues using this tool with VS 2005. The problem that I have is that CodeSnitch seems to make changes to the .exe on the device after I've deployed it to it. Which didn't seem to be a big deal in eVC++ 4.0, but VS 2005 always re-deploys the application when I start to debug it. I couldn't find any option to turn that "auto" deploying behavior off. Does somebody know whether that is possible

Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Jeff,

thanks for the quick response. I've tried the idea disabling the deployment in the configuration manager and it worked ok. I'll probably stick with that solution since it seems the easiest way of doing it.

Hi Stefan,

I don't think that there is a totally clean solution for you here, unfortunately. The issue that you're running into is that an F5 (or any "start program" operation, F10, Ctrl-F5, etc.) is going to be transformed into a "check program up to date and build," followed by "deploy," followed by "start debugging." You might be able to uncheck the "deploy" option for your project in the solution configuration manager after you deploy once and run CodeSnitch. Would it be possible to run codesnitch on the desktop as a post-build step That would result in the binary being updated on the desktop, and that instrumented binary getting pushed down to the device. Failing that, you could create a dummy project and use that to debug your project by setting the debugger command lines appropriately. Thanks,
