Unsupported Debugger Features

Compared to debugging applications for the desktop environment, the following limitations apply when debugging applications that target a Pocket PC or a Windows CE device:

  • Native code disassembly, register dumps, and stack dumps are not available.

  • The ability to change source code while the program is in break mode and apply the changes without leaving the debug session is not supported.

  • It is not possible to attach the debugger to an existing process or application domain that was previously running outside the debugging environment. Users can debug only those processes or application domains that have been started for debugging.
