Debugging backtestings with visual studio

I have been playing a little bit with this approach and it looks really powerful!. I think that having an IDE like Visual Studio for development and the AlgoStudio for backtesting and optimization is the perfect combination. You have the best of both worlds in your hands :).

I have been able to debug in Visual Studio an indicator, and even a robot running on the Trading System. But both were running on PTMC. I did only need to attach the Visual Studio project to the netclient.exe as stated in the video above. However, like the OP, I have not been able to attach my Visual Studio project to AlgoStudio.

Is it possible to do the same with algostudio.exe? I don't know if you did something special to the netclient.exe to allow debugging in Visual Studio... but... could you enable attaching to AlgoStudio process in the same way it is done for PTMC?

Just tried to debug strategy written in Visual Studio and running in Algo without any problems. We will add article with full instructions this week, but in a few words you need to do next steps:
1. Run Visual studio. Create new dll project, add references: commons.dll and PLTRuntime.dll. Create class for your strategy, it should be inherited from NETStrategy. Override OnQuote method, set breakpoint. Compile your dll.

2. Run algo, open dll created by Visual Studio.

3. Select Attach to process in Studio and run backtesting in Algo. It will stop on your breakpoint and now you can use all Visual Studio functionality for debugging.

Hi Alexey,

Thank you very much for your response.

I've tried the steps you mention without success Surely, I have done something wrong at some point, the article will be very much appreciated.
