Can I use Visual Studio to trace/debug an executable instead of using Windbg?
I've been using Windbg to trace executables for which I do not have the source code. I recently got Visual Studio 2010. Is there a way I can use Visual Studio 2010 instead of Windbg to trace/debug an executable?
I tried running Windows Calculator, then in VS doing DEBUG -> ATTACH TO PROCESS, select CALC.EXE, it cheerfully attaches, supposedly, but shows nothing. Disassembly window says, "Disassembly cannot be displayed in run mode."
Am I stuck using Windbg?

C
C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
