This works perfectly. [I put a c# shim template up on github.](https://github.com/EricM81/PluginShim)

There’s a couple of small quirks, so I also [recorded a quick YT vid.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX_Ko8w5fCg)

Basically you have a shim and a normal plugin. You want to load the shim and debug it. For the normal plugin, you want to disable it in Rhino through the \_PluginManager (accidentally running the normal command will prevent you from rebuilding) and unload the project in VS (force it to use the debug symbols supplied through reflection).
