By default a managed project will only start the debugger with managed debugging enabled. It doesn't consider that there are unmanaged projects in the same solution. In order to debug both you need to explicitly enable unmanaged code debugging.

  • Right Click on the project and select properties
  • Go to the Debug tab
  • Check "Enable Unmanaged code debugging"
