steps to debug a dll used in an mvc 5 project

I have a dll project and an mvc 5 project

I want to debug the dll project when it is used in the mvc project

I already built the dll project in debug mode and they work if I put these generated debug files directly in the bin folder of the mvc 5 project

but now I want to debug the dll code when the mvc project calls it, without moving files around, what are the exact steps to do this?

build the dll project in debug mode, take the generated files and put them in the bin folder of the MVC project

In my case the dll uses c++ code -> unmanaged code, so in VS MVC project

right click project name->properties->web->Debuggers check the "Native code"

save the project, put the breakpoint, run in debug mode, VS will show "debugging information for iisexpress.exe cannot be found..." continue debugging

Now I can step inside the dll code

Open VS or your debugger and attach to w3wp.exe and ensure you have your DLL's symbols loaded. That's all you need to do.
