The Visual Studio 2022 Remote Debugger is a set of tools that allows you to debug an application running on one machine (the remote computer) from another machine running Visual Studio 2022 (the host computer). This is invaluable when the target environment differs from your development environment—for example, a production server, a test VM, or a client’s machine.
The remote debugger works with any .NET or native C++ application, whether it’s a console app, Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET, Windows Service, or even a background task.
