How to debug C# WinForms application in VS 2008 Express on Wine?

Environment: xUbuntu 18.04.4 LTS x64 wine-stable 5.0.0~bionic amd64 (winehq-stable + wine-stable-amd64 + wine-stable-i386:i386) WINETRICKS_VERSION=20191224 (under wine WINEARCH=win32 + Visual Studio Express 2008 SP1 ENG(https://archive.org/details/vs2008sp1) + dotnet35sp1 (was installed by winetrick))

In VS I created a Windows Forms Application -> build -> debug, and at this step I got the error message:

error while trying to run project: unable to start program unknown error full-path-to-builded-exe-application-file. operation not supported. unknown error: 0x80010115

(when I just run "build without debugging" - exe-application works fine!)

As I googl'ed, error code 0x80010115 means something like:

public const int RPC_S_CALLPENDING = (int)(0x80010115 - 0x100000000); /// /// OLE is waiting before retrying a request. /// 0x80010115, OLE has sent a request and is waiting for a reply.

I would really appreciate any help.

Please try these steps:

Suggestion

1) close your VS Instance, delete .suo hidden file, bin, obj folder under the solution and then reopen your project again to test whether this issue persists.

2) disable Enable Just My Code option under Tools-->Options-->Debugging-->General.

3) You can also try to create a new empty Windows Forms Application to test whether the default project has the same issue. If so, I think there are some installation issues when you install VS2008 on Wine.

Update 1

After doing a deep research, although VS2008 can be installed on Wine, it still has several problems that don't work very well(unable to use start Debugging). See this similar issue.

Also, you can also see the Wine official website to list the performance about VS.

So when you install VS on wine, you can only pray for which part works.

As a suggestion, you can install VS Code which can be worked on it.
