Debugging a web app on IIS7 without installing IIS6 Metabase

Question

Is it possible to attach (or debug with F5) to IIS7's worker process without installing IIS6 Metabase?

Answer 1

After some investigating I found out it's all possible:

• attach to IIS7 worker process or
• debug using F5 functionality

Here's what you have to do:

1. Open web application's properties
2. Select Debug tab
3. Scroll to bottom of the page and set Custom web server address i.e. http://localhost
4. Close Visual Studio
5. Start Visual Studio as an administrator

That's it. Debugging of IIS7 web apps done.
