hi Vincent, The main issue with sln is that they are versions specific. It would be possible to generate dsw for VC6 but for VC8/7/9/10 it is trickier, while possible. However you can use cmake instead, it will generate sln if desired.
About the debugger, if you use a non express version of Visual Studio, you can enable the JIT debugger (what I do), which provides everything you may need. Express editions sadly do not support JIT debugging. WinDBG is an alternative as well.
