Debugging Your Provider

There are two ways to debug your provider:

• Because providers are created in process, you can create some consumer code using the OLE DB consumer templates and step into the provider normally.

• You can use various utilities that come with Visual C++.

To use debugging

1. Open the provider project.

2. On the menu bar, select Projects > Properties.

3. In the Property Pages dialog box, select the Configuration Properties > Debugging property page.

4. Select options as required, then choose OK.

5. Set breakpoints, and then debug as usual.
