Thank you Paul for answering.

I don't need to debug my *manage code*.
C# application is debuggable by visual studio and working perfectly
Application c# made is in release format and already distributed in the ce
device.
By project setting in embedded c++ IDE, I specified to lunch, I got
path\name.exe of my * manage code * relesaed application, this programm where
are used my win32 dll. Now I running in debug mode the win32 dll in evc++
IDE: the * manage code * application start regular but evc++ IDE freeze, my
break point don't work. In the same time if you try to use the * manage code
* application in the device is working perfectly: No debugging effetcts
appears.

thanks, fabbrit
