I assume the loader is another EXE right? So your windows service calls this EXE and you want to debug the EXE straight from debugging your service right? I don't know if that's possible. It's like saying Debugging a C# windows APP then Calling another C# background App then directly debugging the background app straight from your windows app. Experts help please! (^_^)

hi... its something like a dispatcher that is running as a windows service. It invokes a loader and starts exchanging messages between them. My requirement is - i want to debug this windows service and when i do i want the control to pass into the loader code also... thanks indu

Hi Indumathy What kind of application is called by the service? Could you just call the application directly for debug purposes? I don't know if it's possible to debug another application called from within a service.
