VSeWSS "Attach to IIS Worker Processes" grayed out

This is a repost from the msdn forums that got no good results.

In VSeWSS 1.3 on VS 2008, the "Attach to IIS Worker Processes" seems to always be grayed out (Build -> Quick Deploy Solution).

This forces me to run iisapp from the command line, note the PID of my w3wp process, hit Ctrl-Alt-P in VS to bring up the Attach to Process dialog, sort by PID, locate the PID i obtained earlier, and hit ok.

What am I missing?

Solution

  • In order to get the "Attach to worker process" to not be grayed out, I have to select the project node in solution explorer. (This is the only project in this solution.) If I select a sub-folder or file the option is grayed out.
