One feature (with the disclaimer that&#39;s it&#39;s not preferred\/supported) that I thought I&#39;d lost was &quot;attach to process&quot; style debugging with SQLCLR. And that I hadn&#39;t discovered the &quot;secret sauce&quot; that makes this work. Here&#39;s the secret sauce.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/b\/robertbruckner\/archive\/2010\/06\/20\/debugging-custom-extensions-with-visual-studio-2010.aspx\" class=\"broken_link\">Robert Bruckner&#39;s blog entry<\/a>&nbsp;(about debugging SSRS add-ins) mentions that &quot;there are now two debug engines inside Visual Studio 2010, one for .NET 2.0\/3.0\/3.5, and the other for 4.0 only&quot;. To debug SQLCLR&nbsp;&nbsp;(which uses .NET 2.0\/3.5) with&nbsp;&quot;attach to process&quot;&nbsp;we need a config file like the one Robert posted for reporting services. Except that we&#39;re attaching to sqlservr.exe. So the file must be called sqlservr.exe.config and be in the same directory as sqlservr.exe.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThen &quot;attach to process&quot; works with SQLCLR code (as I said, I started using this for SQLCLR broker activation procedures). The only odd thing is that I had to &quot;attach to process&quot;, run program that hits SQLCLR, it hangs. Detach from process, cancel program,&nbsp;try attach and run program that hits the SQLCLR&nbsp;again. Then it worked a treat. Thanks, Robert. Do read the warning that appears when you debug this way. On occasion, if things get really hosed in debugging (or I do something strange in VS), I&#39;ve been able to knock down sqlservr.exe debugging like this. So I only use this on the <strong>private<\/strong> copy of SQL Server at my own desk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my blog entry from about a month and a half ago, I summarized my finding on using Visual Studio 2010 with SQLCLR, and the partial support of SQL Server 2008 new features.
