Known limitation

Visual Studio 2008 cannot attach to VirtualFlexPendant.exe 5.15

 

VirtualFlexPendant.exe distributed with RobotStudio 5.15 and later is built with .NET 

4.0. VisualStudio 2008 is not able attach and debug a .NET 4.0 application.  

Hence it is not possible to use RobotStudio and the Virtual FlexPendant to debug a 

FlexPendant SDK application from Visual Studio 2008. 

 

Workaround #1: Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2012 can be used for attaching
and debugging VirtualFlexPendant.exe. You can open a code file from your Visual
Studio 2008 project, from Visual Studio 2010 and set breakpoints. The debugger will hit
the breakpoints and you can execute step vice etc.
Workaround #2: Do not uninstall RobotStudio 5.14.03 when installing RobotStudio
5.15.Visual Studio 2008 can attach to and debug the VirtualFlexPendant.exe 5.14.03.

Please refer to the Release Notes for more information.

Several fixes to problems with FlexPendant controls visual appearance has been made. The complete list can be found in the Release Notes.
