VMWare Workstation Version 6 include a new feature that simplifies the process of debugging applications running on a virtual machine instance from Visual Studio.

With the new Workstation IDE (integrated development environment) plug‐ins, software developers are provided with a configurable interface between their virtual machines and Visual Studio (Windows only) that lets them easily test, run, and debug programs in virtual machines.

You can specify settings such as the location of the virtual machine, which setup or clean‐up scripts to execute, the location of shared folders, and (in Visual Studio) directories to be copied between the host and guest.

When configured, the integrated virtual debugger finds the virtual machine, powers it on if necessary, sets up the environment based on your configuration settings, and launches or attaches to the application. All breakpoints, watch points, and so on that you set in your IDE will function as if you were running your application on the host computer.

Depending on the configuration setting you specify, when the application finishes running, the virtual machine is powered off, suspended, reverted to a snapshot, or left in its current state.
