Can I remotely-debug my .NET application built with OPC Data Client?

If I build a .NET application with the OPC Data Client and deploy it to a remote computer, can I use the Visual Studio.NET environment to attach to the application on the remote computer to remotely debug that application?

Yes you can.

Because you are debugging your .NET application, the fact that it uses the OPC Data Client component has no impact on whether or not you can remotely debug your application. This is because you are not debugging the OPC Data Client component itself, but you are debugging your .NET application!

Here's the scenario:

  • RUNTIME PC - Contains the deployed application & OPC Data Client component installed with a Runtime license.
  • DEVELOPMENT PC - Contains Visual Studio.NET & OPC Data Client component installed with a Development license.

The developer instructs Visual Studio.NET to make a connection to the application running on the runtime pc to debug the running application.
