If you're debugging an EXE without source because you're writing a plugin or addon for it as a DLL, and you want todebug that DLL, you can specify the EXE in question as the EXE to run when you start debugging as part of the properties for the project for the DL in question. Visual Studio will spot when your DLL loads, load the debug info for it, and activate any breakpoints and so on. Works well.
(If your addon runs as a child process, you need the Child Process Debugging tool. Transformative. Get it here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GreggMis...)
When you don't have source code, VS is not the best environment ever - it's oriented very much towards worknig with C/C++/etc., and there's a few options you have to play with to get it to show you disassembly and so on. But it's adequate. (One thing I like about it very much is that the step commands are the same whether you're stepping through source code or whether you're stepping in the disassembly window. I'll put up with quite a lot in exchange for that.)
