C# – .NET remote debugging as another user from another domain

cdebuggingnetremote-debuggingvisual studio 2010

I am trying to debug remotely via Visual Studio 2010. But I am unable to tell the debugger to use another (remote) account on the remote machine. (Not to use my account.)

Any hints?

UPDATE: I don't have the remote account on my computer (it is in another domain). So I cannot use runas.

Been fighting with this for a long time.

Check that

Both computers are in the same domain OR both VS remote debugger and client VS are running as a same user with identical password. Your users can be in different domains or workgroups but login name must be identical
Unrestricted direct connection between machines in both direction is required.

The problem that I had is that I had 2 users:

mydomain\user1
mytestmachine\user1

that is not correct (according to Gregg Miskely) i needed to define a local user in my development computer, for example:

mydevcomputer\debug
mytestmachine\debug

with the same password and run the VS2008 and the Debugging Monitor with this user:

The simplest way is an anonymous method passed into Label.Invoke:

// Running on the worker thread
string newText = "abc";
form.Label.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate {
    // Running on the UI thread
    form.Label.Text = newText;
});
// Back on the worker thread

Notice that Invoke blocks execution until it completes--this is synchronous code. The question doesn't ask about asynchronous code, but there is lots of content on Stack Overflow about writing asynchronous code when you want to learn about it.
