Remote Debug desktop app visual studio 2015

I used to develop and remote debug one device creating Windows Store Apps with VS 2013 for Windows.

Now I am using a Microsoft VS Community 2015 (v 14..) and I created a Windows Desktop App using WPF, but I cant remote debug anymore but only running with/out debug.

Please how can I remote debug a desktop app with VS2015?

I tried with this msdn tutorial but when I run my app it shows a message like this:

"error in trying to execute the project: Impossible to start debugging. The debugger is not able to connect to remote computer. Impossible to solve the specified computer name"

Here's what went down in the chat;

  • First of Try using an IP address instead of a hostname.
  • @eeadev then installed a new version of the remote debugger which resulted in it working, but no breakpoints were hit.
  • I told @eeadev to move the contents of the debug folder to the remote server , because of the ties with the pdb file for debugging.
  • After @eeadev did the above, everything worked. happy days!
