RE: [ROOT] Suggestion for official release of Root under Visual C++.net

Hello Axel,
  My experience one can mix VC6 and VC7 compiled DLLs and libraries

   BUT

I could not find a way to use 'NET debugger to debug the code compiled
with the code compiled by VC6 with the flag -Z7 (Very this flag was used
by ROOT Makefile). The problem is .Net can not find the source file to
provide the source-level debug information. One still can debug on the
assembler level :-((

Very likely we should change ROOT Makefile to keep the debug information
in the dedicated "PDB" files. That both Studio 6 as well as 7 should
understand things properly (I hope)

                              Valeri
