A VisualStudio Mono soft debugger extension.

Open "Tools" then "Mono SDB Settings" and set the "Mono path" to a Mono installation directory.

Set the project you want to debug as the Startup project.

Open "Tools" then select:

• Debug localhost: To connect to localhost:[default port].
• Debug remote: To connect to a remote debug host.

Note: The MDB file will be automatically built before the debugger attaches.

• Command line usage: mono --soft-breakpoints --debugger-agent=transport=dt_socket,address=127.0.01:9000,server=y [other arguments]

• Embedded mono:

  Enabling debug mode:

  const char* options[] = {
   	"--soft-breakpoints",
   	"--debugger-agent=transport=dt_socket,address=192.168.0.8:9000,server=y"
   };
   mono_jit_parse_options(2, (char**)options);	
   mono_debug_init(MONO_DEBUG_FORMAT_MONO);
  

  Before loading an assembly load the MDB using the following method:

  mono_debug_open_image_from_memory(MonoImage* targetImage, mono_byte* MDBData, int MDBDataLength);
  

  For example:

  MonoImageOpenStatus status = MONO_IMAGE_ERROR_ERRNO;
  MonoImage* imagePtr = mono_image_open_from_data_with_name(...);
  
  mono_debug_open_image_from_memory(...);
  
  status = MONO_IMAGE_ERROR_ERRNO;
  MonoAssembly* assemblyPtr = mono_assembly_load_from_full(...);
