I'm trying to debug a C/C++ native DLL project from Visual Studio 2010. I'm attempting to follow these instructions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c91k1xcf(v=VS.100).aspx
I want to use the built-in debugger and be able to step code, examine structures, etc. as I would do with a regular .exe project. The instructions on the page above describe a Debugging category under Configuration Properties which I do not see.

Just pressing F5 to debug results in the following error:
Unable to start program 'C:\Users.......Test.dll'
I've used the debugger for regular .exe projects many times and it works fine on this computer. I'm not sure if I'm just missing something very obvious right now though.
Edit: Since I didn't make it clear from the start, I want Visual Studio to LoadLibrary my DLL into a stub process and let me debug at a source level from there, much like how OllyDbg does it.
My DLL is not the type that holds a bunch of functions to be exported and called. Instead it does a switch/case in the DllMain and on DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH will spawn a new thread. Therefore all I need Visual Studio to do is to load my DLL into a stub executable and allow me to set breakpoints, etc.
You right-clicked the solution name in the Solution Explorer window and got the solution properties. Note that the window says "Solution Test Property Pages".
Right-click the project name (Test in bold) instead to set the project options.
