title: Start debugger in c++ code
body: <p>I am trying to debug some problems in a native C++ COM DLL I have created and would like to launch the Visual Studio (2008) debugger from this.  This dll is called by another dll that I was given, so basically my code plugs into another application through this.  Anyway, in the past I had used C# to create this dll and was able to use the System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break() method.  Is there anything similar to this that can be used?  I saw a few posts about DebugBreak and __debugbreak but this did not seem to work, it just appeared to stop my code from executing beyond that statement.</p>
  
  <p>EDT: I followed the advice of paulsm4 below and found that the breakpoints did not work, it would tell me: "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No Symbols have been loaded for this document"</p>
