I've got an MFC application that is mostly working. However, I am unable to use the debugger.

Win7

Vs2010

Debenu 10.14

Here's essentially what I am doing:

DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1014 qPdf(target);

qPdf.UnlockKey("My Key");

if (qPdf.Unlocked())

{

//do something

}

else

{

//do something else

}

I can step through the object initialization and all seems to go well. When I try to step over the if statement instead of going to the next statement execution resumes and neither side of the if statement is stepped into.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Just came across this. Not sure what the issue is, but doing this will probably allow you to debug:

bool bresult;

...
bResult = qPdf.Unlocked();

if (bResult)
{
// do it true
}
else
{
// do otherwise
}

QED,

You won't be able to debug the Debenu Library directly in the VS 2010 DLL version. You will be able to step into some of the wrapper functions and see the return values from the Debenu functions.

Make sure your project is set to Debug and not Release mode in your project settings. Are you using C# or C++ ? It sounds like a project setting or options problem. I am able to debug both C++ and C# without too many issues.
