In this post I will compile a list of tools that I use. Feel free to suggest any other tool :

Common Tools
WinDirStat reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views.

Dependency Walker is a free utility that scans any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module (exe, dll, ocx, sys, etc.) and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of all dependent modules.

Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.

The flag of compilation /clr:old_syntax does not support the use of specific .NET keywords (as #using).
Therefore, using /clr would be a workaround but is incompatible with flag /rtc1.

So I need a way to call managed code in a dll B from native code in a dll A.
To do so, no C++ managed extensions (C++/CLI) must be in dll A. Otherwise, it would need to be compiled with the flag /clr.

Solution is to put a native exported function (_declspec(export)) in dll B which returns an interface to my managed class. Then in my native dll A, I would simply include the header file to the exported function from managed dll B and call it to retrieve an interface which maps to the concrete managed class in dll B.

Hope this helps someone, if not feel free to ask questions.

When using it extensively it turns out to be a pain in the ass ...   So I decided to share how I resolved this issue.   First I took a look into the Tools>Options menu but found nada so I asked myself what can be done?   A MACRO!   So I simply had to find out how to break (1^st line) and then how to prompt to the last document (2^nd line).

So now we need this macro to be called when we pause.

• Open up the "Macro explorer" from the Tools>Macro menu.

• Create a macro and copy-paste the code above.
  

• Save.

• Go in the toolbar customization and a button with this macro.

• Draw a nice icon for your button.

• Enjoy!
  

If you know a better way let me know.
