asp.netdebugging

How do I attach the debugger to IIS instead of ASP.NET Development Server?

I have an ASP.NET website and when I press F5 it automatically attaches to the ASP.NET Development Server, how do I attach to IIS worker process instead when I press F5?

Solution

  • open project properties, go to the web tab and choose the option for IIS.

    That actually starts an instance of the app in IIS and attaches the debugger. If you only wanted to attach to an existing IIS instance, choose attach to process from the debug menu.
