So there I was sitting, stuck on a process running on RTC, throwing errors that typically did not occur on Classic. No RTC specific debugger (yet). But … never to young to learn!
Unless C# is like cipher to you, it's not to difficult to get things working and go for it using these links:
Notes
- As you are using the Visual Studio debugger you will need to have VS installed
- Depending on where the code resides you are debugging either the RTC (code on pages) or the Service Tier (code on other CSIDE objects)
- In case RTC and Service Tier are on different machines you have to debug on that specific machine
- Before you start debugging you will need to identify the right C# code file and attach it to your process
- Be sure to attach the C# file to the right process; if you are debugging either the RTC or the Service Tier you should attach to either Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.exe or Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Service.exe. Read here what happens if you take the wrong one.
- To effectuate changes to your C/AL code so that they will show up in the VS debugger you have to restart the Service Tier; there is no other way to refresh the C# files

Yesterday a good post on the NAV Team blog was released:
Hi Chris,
Thanx for your comments!
Some remarks:
Sounds logic, but in some way it worked when I attached the page debugging to the client …. ???
Well, didn't get that work, but maybe should do more tries
update: just now it happened to me as you indicated; the .cs file indeed is updated and VS showed this dialog
OK, haven't tried that, but of course this trick will only work when the error is thrown. Not when I want to start debugging from a breakpoint on.
