Spotfire Developer Documentation

Develop and debug extensions

After you add an extension in Spotfire Package Builder, you can develop its features and debug it for Spotfire Analyst using the special Spotfire starter executable. (Debugging in Spotfireweb clients requires a different procedure.)

Note: This documentation does not cover developing C# code for the extension, or to the specifics of working with the Visual Studio debugger. Rather, it is specific to configuring the debugger to perform debugging tasks on the developed extension and adding it to Spotfire Package Builder. For more information about developing in C#, or about operating the Visual Studio debugger, see the Visual Studio help.

The development procedures for Spotfire Analyst and Spotfire web clients differ slightly. The code must be signed in both cases, as must the packages created by Spotfire Package Builder. Spotfire web client extensions require additional steps for debugging.
