I have dynamic crm online setup where I have a workflow attached with a plugin. It works when new account is created. But I am not getting appropriate result, so I need to debug the plugin code. I have open the code in vs2015 and Plugin Registration Tool. I don't want to use Profile to debug it because I can't see Profile Start button when installed the profile. Has any alternative way to debug my plugin's code?

Check if you followed the correct steps for debugging.

I am trying to debug workflow activity and getting following errors when creating new account under that profiled workflows:
Unhandled Exception: System.Activities.InvalidWorkflowException: The following errors were encountered while processing the workflow tree:

Syntax error in cast operator; two arguments separated by comma are required.

Hi Shahriat Hossain,
Start Profiling option is available for plugin step not for assembly or plugin .If there is step not visible then you have to register new step to plugin on message like create,update etc.If you want to debug custom activity(workflow) then you need to perform different steps. use following blog that will help you for workflow debugging.

Do you want to debug workflow activity or plugin?
I have installed Profiler now now I need to select step to start the profiler but I can't see any step in my assembly plugin instead I can see a Workflow Activity when I select this activity I can't see start profiler tab on top of the registration tool. What should I do now?

Refer this link for the same.
Hi Shahriat Hossain,
Please do use tracing service inside your coding. It could be helpful for you.
Refer following url's

Hi,
This is not the correct understanding. When you start profiling, the profiler will automatically give you the error log file which you need to upload while debugging. Please follow the shared blog/ video.
It is straight forward and once you are able to make it work, you will love it :).
Hope this helps.
I can see debugging using profiler needs to have exception or log file but I don't have any error. I only just want to debug the code while account create event occurred. What should be the workaround on it?
Hi Shahriat,
Try to reconnect plugin registration tool after profiler got installed , you should see the start profiling button. In addition you can try to download latest SDK and open plugin registration tool from there .
