How to debug a C# command-line program

Question

I\'m trying to build a command-line tool in C# with VS2010.

My question is: how do I debug this, like I would a winforms.

You can use Visual Studio to attach a debugger to the command line application, once it is under way with the correct arguments. I'm not sure if your application will terminate quickly or give you any opportunity to attach the debugger, but if it will, this should work.

I'm using VS2008 but I'll bet the process is similar in 2010:

1. In VS, go to Tools and click Attach to Process
2. Choose your application from the list and press Attach

Now VS should be able to finagle its way into your application and break on an error.
