Debugging class libraries, Visual Studio automation

I'm debugging a class library which is testing by a demo application. Each time I make a change in code and set a break-point I should:

  1. Compile code
  2. Run demo executable
  3. Attach debugger to demo.exe process

Can I automate these steps in some way ?

Right-click your class library project, Set as Startup Project if necessary. Again, Properties, Debug tab. Select "Start external program" and select your 'demo' program's EXE.

Pressing F5 now automatically starts the demo program with the debugger attached. Don't forget to take advantage of Edit+Continue.

You don't need a demo application. Just create unit test for the library. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms379625(v=vs.80).aspx
