Mixed Mode debugging in Visual Studio 2005

So for the longest time I've been developing a C# application that calls C++ code through the C++ interop. One of the problems with this was the inability to debug C++ code. The call stack would just say "Native to Managed Transition". If an exception was thrown in C++ land, C# land would just say "Yeah, you got an exception. Where? How the hell should I know?"

Well, finally, I found the answer. Right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer, click on Properties, go to the Debug tab, and check "Enable unmanaged code debugging".

Bam! Now I can hit the breakpoints that I placed in my unmanaged code that gets called from my managed code. No more "the breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document"

A neat flash game involving some math and logic

My buddy Seth pointed me towards this. It's a pretty neat game.

It took a while to figure out, but Wikipedia came to my rescue.

I'm not normally into flash games, but this one consumed my life for a few days.

Cheers.
