Answer 2

A:

If you are using IE8 then you need to follow these settings

On registery HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Put Value: DWORD TabProcGrowth Value 0

Lalit 2010-04-23 15:57:59

afraid to modify the registry;

user279521 2010-04-23 15:59:24

are you using IE8 ?Because in that case, the default feature of IE8 LCIE doesn't allow you to debug.Just need to change the value, i have tried it, it works fine.

Lalit 2010-04-23 16:07:40

yes I am using IE 8, but why would the browser be a factor?

user279521 2010-04-23 16:10:09

Try it, this will solve the issue.

Lalit 2010-04-23 16:57:09

I don't have access to modify the registry;

Answer 3

+1 A:

Did You: 1) Run the program in debug mode such that VS auto-attaches to the process as it loads? or

2) Attach manually to the ASP.NET worker process that is already running via Debug..Attach to Process ?

3) Did you set debug="true" in the <compilation> element of the web.config, ie: <compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="true">

4) If it is a client-side jscript breakpoint, did you enable script debugging in Tools..Internet Options..Advanced..uncheck both of the "Disabled Script Debugging" checkboxes ?

Post the answers to these and then can follow up with more help

I am in debug mode;How do I attach manually to the asp.net worker process?

user279521 2010-04-23 16:01:52

Menu: Debug..Attach to Process...Then look for the worker process in the list, on XP it is named aspnet_wp.exe, on later OS with IIS6+, the process is named w3wp.exe. Make sure when you highlight the process that "Managed code" appears in the "Attach to:" box just above the process list. Then click the Attach button.

David 2010-04-23 16:13:32

The comment I just posted for attaching only works if you are using IIS, if you are using the local auto-dev web server, then it should be auto attaching when you do Debug..Start Debugging or F5 to run the web app.

David 2010-04-23 16:15:18

@David, thats my concern, I am using localhost, and it shouldnt be this complicated to run debug locally; I am also on Windows 7 OS;

user279521 2010-04-23 16:20:28

can you confirm if you are trying to debug server sides asp.net code or client-side javascript code?

David 2010-04-23 16:28:25

I am trying to debug codebehind (C#);

Answer 4

+1 A:

From my experience, BEFORE you hit F5 to debug, do a BUILD & and ReBuild. Then hit F5 and that should work (9 out of 10 times) !!
