Debug ActiveX control from C#

Question

Hi all I am using MFC - ActiveX control in C# based windows application. I am not able to debug the control with the C# application while it is possible with the MFC applcation. I want to call a function on buttton click event of windows application. The function is in ActiveX control. I have given the path of the exe in control also enabled the Unmanaged debugging in Windows application but when i start debug it doesn't populate the exe instead it comes out and ready for debug again. Is it possible to do so if yes then HOW. Thanks. Gajesh Pune(India)

You can do debugging in c++ if its a regular dll with mixed mode debugging if you have the source but I don't think you can debug into a COM components source code from .NET. .NET builds a wrapper around the ActiveX control and talks to the control through this wrapper but the wrapper doesn't let you debug inside of it.
