Debugging a MS C .dll

[Dr John P Weldon]

I have a .dll that compiles without error in both Debug and Release modes. The model is also OK. However, when I run the model in Vensim DSS I get an assertion failure within the .dll. The reason for this is proving difficult to track down. Can I use the Visual Studio debugger while running the model? If so, how?

Yes, it's easy.

From within Visual Studio, access the project properties. Under the "Debugging" section, find the "Command" setting. Set this to point to the Vensim executable (usually C:\Program Files\Vensim\vendss64MC.exe).

Now his the "Play" button to launch Vensim.
