Debug a 64 bit driver in visual studio

Open BobSenturus opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

It appears the Data Connector Projects in VS are tied to x86 / 32-bit. As a result, the Mashup window / "M Query Output" seems to only recognize 32 bit ODBC drivers. However, Power BI Desktop (and enterprise gateway) can recognize the 64 bit ODBC drivers via the compiled data connector.

Is there any way to signal to Visual Studio to debug using the 64 bit driver? Does this make sense as a feature request for the SDK? Or is the only path using a 32 bit version of the ODBC driver when you want to debug?

We found this note on the SDK download that speaks to the reason why it works like this, but not a workaround for debugging 64 bit drivers: image

Thanks~
