title: How to debug .NET console application from Visual Studio 2013
body: <p>I've created a .NET 4.5 console application (an .exe file) with c# that processes some data in various files.  The whole thing runs in less than one second.  I have a problem with a testing version of the .exe that I'd like to step through in the Visual Studio 2013 debugger using particular input files (the filenames are passed as command line arguments).  I can't do an "Attach to process..." since the process has completed too quickly to attach to it.  How do I debug in this case.</p>
  
  <p>Note that I'm from the python world, and the python equivalent of what I'm trying to do is <code>python -m pdb pdb_script.py</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any advice!</p>
