Debugged Program Window Won't Close

Question

I\'m using VS 2008 on a 64-bit XP machine. I\'m debugging a 32-bit C++ DLL via a console program. The DLL and EXE projects are contained in the same SLN so that I can modify

Answer 1

The best thing I was able to find is a workaround: binding the detach all to the shift-F5 button. In this way you basically release the window from the debugger and you can close the window itself w/o ending up with an orphaned cmd window. Hopefully MS will come up with a solution. Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard.

By the way the process I described above only works sporadically. Since this problem seems to occur quite often, is there a way to finally resolve it once and for all?
