Where do you get developer info for Vegas

[Edward Troxel]

You can do debugging of scripts if you work in c# in Visual Studio.

I am in VS 2005 but the debugger did not stop.
I opened a .cs file.
Then I attached the debugger to Vegas process.
Then I set break points and nada. The debugger didnt
stop. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks for all the tons of help Ed,
Bob

I should have added that I executed the script via the menu
and the debugger did not hit the break point. I was trying to debug
the XML Export script for practice thats included in Vegas 7.

Thanks,
Bob

You have to start the script within Visual Studio. To do that, VS has to compile and then “start” the script by starting Vegas with the “-script” option. Doing it that way *does* work – it’s just a little complicated to set up.

Call me dense but I didnt get that. I have tried off and on for a bit. Compile to what? There is no project just a .cs file.
So there is a piece I am missing here or just not sure how to work.
I can set the debug options to start the Vegas.exe -script thats not an issue. Just not sure about the compile thing..
BUT.. I am learning and a newbie. Sorry for all the questions.

I have mine set up to compile to a DLL and the DLL is what Vegas is actually using instead of a .cs file. You also get code completion when doing it that way. Vol 4 #3 of my newsletters gives the basics of setting it up so that it works with code completion and then compiles to a DLL file.

Then with it set to the debugging configuration, go to the properties pages. Under “Configuration Properties” pick “Debugging”. Now change the “debug mode” to “Program”. Next change the “Start Application” to point to Vegas. Finally, change the “Command Line Arguments” to read -SCRIPT:”path to your debug compiled script.dll”
