Is there a way to debug in Visual studio my own custom actions?

Yes, you can debug custom actions.

Inside your Execute() method (or whichever method you want to debug), add this line of code:

Code:

System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();

Then, build your custom action assembly in debug mode (if Make Update is open, you will need to close it first) and then rebuild your update in Make Update.

When you install the update on your debugging machine, you should see a prompt that will allow you to select a debugger for your action. You can then step through your action's code. Note that Edit and Continue will not work in this scenario.

Once you've finished debugging, be sure to remove the call to Debugger.Break() and rebuild your custom action assembly.
