It was John who taught me that lesson in his seminal Windows Debugging book - you shouldn't be in the debugger unless you have to be. Hope this helps.

When using these from a C project I have been able to simply adjust the reference to dynamically point to the appropriate DLLs by editing the appropriate line in the. The phrase "line of code" is ambiguous since I am not sure if you want the source code on a line or the line number of a line; I assume you are asking for a number. I think Predefined Macros has what you want. Supply a larger buffer.

If you think you're giving it a large enough buffer, please post a small but sufficiently complete example for someone to try to reproduce your problem. Unused code won't be executed.

You can browse for the icon for your application out there. Hope that helps, Amol.
