Debugging of a driver extension is not working in zenon zenon 12

Due to security reasons zenDrvOpsManager, which is used for exchanging configuration information, between drivers and engineering studio/servcie engine, does not work with Visual Studio.

In order to still be able to debug a driver extension, one can change the interprocess communication method from TCP to COM by adding "DRIVER_IPC=COM" to zenon6.ini in the [RT] section: [RT] DRIVER_IPC=COM

If you then start GenericNET.exe from Visual Studio without command line arguments, the debugging will work.
