2. Compile the project locally, copy exe and DLL files to the remote machine (usually debug or Release folder), run EXE on the remote machine;

3. In the local VS Open project, set breakpoints, debugging, attach to process--Remote Debugging mode, enter the remote machine's IP address, the refresh will have the remote machine active process, choose to debug the process loaded up;
