Visual Studio Express is Trying to Kill Me.

I have a copy of Visual Studio. From quite some time ago. As in Pre-dot-net. I have, however, grown quite accustomed to C# and find that I can program quickly in it. At least, I can with a full-fledged version of Visual Studio.

I am working on a top-secret personal project, however, and I'm using Visual C# 2010 Express to develop it. So far. It's great that there is a free version for people to try out if they're not familiar with Visual Studio, I guess, but I keep finding things missing that I can't see living without.

One glaring case-in-point would be the lack of ability to attach to a running process and debug through it. Really? I was using NUnit in my developing effort and when I went to debug a unit test, I simply couldn't see a way to do it. I eventually found a post online that allowed me to at least debug through my code using the Console NUnit runner, thanks to a chap named [Blokely].

This will tide me over for a bit, but I see a full version of Visual Studio in my very near future. Bah. Humbug!
