If you've written COM+ components for your web application in Visual C++, this article will guide you in how to debug them. Author Chris Schmidt discusses a variety of debugging topics, including setting up the sample code, using ICreateErrorInfo in the component, using symbol files, registering and configuring the component, executing debugging commands, running a debugging session, and employing a number of useful tools for debugging your components.

This article assumes that you can write simple components in Visual C++ 6.0 using ATL, that you're using Visual Interdev 6.0, and that you have the following installed: Visual Studio 6.0, SP5 for Visual Studio, SP2 for Windows 2000, and IIS 5.0.
