Should i be able to step through WCF code if the service is running on a remote machine?
If not is there a debugger setting that will let me do this? I have the code loaded in the solution I am calling it from, but when I step through it doesn't step into the WCF code.
The method I'm calling is not oneway either should that matter.
I have VS2008
You have to run the Remote Debugger on the remote machine, and attach to the remote process (in Visual Studio, Debug/Attach/..other machine.../process of your service. If you have breakpoints set, they will get hit in the process running remotely.
How to set up remote debugging: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt727f1t.aspx
You could use remote debugging if its not hosted on IIS.
If it is hosted on a remote IIS though here are instructions for how you can debug it.
In addition to the remote debugging tutorials people have mentioned, the "Step Into" feature does not cross process boundaries. You'll have to set a breakpoint in the service code to get it to stop on the other side.
It might be obvious, but to some people it is not.
