[general][debug] how to debug harmony using vs?
I am not very familiar with vs.net. Is there guide for doing this?
Should I use the executable file generated from ant build or
vs.netsolution/project build for debugging?
Thanks!

Simon,
I attach VS when a debugger side effect (aka "green threads") is
wanted. If not, just use another way as Pavel and Gregory suggested.
Thanks.

You can instrument your code just as Gregory suggested.
Use the construct like this:
if(my_condition) {
_CrtDbgBreak();
}
'if' clause can be skipped.
Then run your app outside Visual Studio, but keep VS open with the
project in it. Once dialog box pops up asking if you want to debug
answer 'yes' and select VS you have opened. It will attach to your app
and show you the source, where you've inserved your instrumentation.

Thank you, Alexei
So is there any suggestion or acrobatics to make the debugger's side effect
less?

I usually configure "Debugging" tab from inside the active project
properties to use a binary which is built by ant. Running the process
with VS attached all the time makes a thread behavior, memory
violation addresses, etc, more or less reproducible from launch to
launch.

You can check checkbox to never ask you again or always press No to rebuild
the project.

Usually all breakpoints set in sources that are used to run binary build work
ok. So you can set them before running a process in MSVC. You can also
interrupt a running process (Debug->Break All) and set new breakpoints at any
moment.
For just in time debugging you can use _CrtDbgBreak() function defined in
crtdbg.h. In debug mode this function is equivalent to int3 and will
interrupt a running process. Then you can step over it to debug the process
from the interrupted position. In release mode this function is a no-op.

Thanks!
Is 'debugging _without_ rebuilding' a property can be set or just close the
rebuild warning dialog?
And more question :)
how can I set the breakpoint after the program is running?

I don't think that using project you can build a fully functional
runtime. Usually I open the project just for files/symbols lookup and
specify executable and command line options in the debug properties.
Then I start debugging _without_ rebuilding the project.
More often I use just-in-time debugging feature. When a process crashes
or hangs I attach MSVC to it from the crash dialog or using task manager.
