Visual Studio 2010 hangs when starting asp.net site debugging

Question

Hi, i have problem with Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 x64. When i started asp.net site debugging, it stoped working. Only solution is restarting IIS. Have anyone experiences with this?

Thanks

Answer 1

Here's a workaround that helped me:

Go to Debug->Attach to Process. If the 'Attach To' box says 'Automatic: Native code' then click the 'Select...' button. In the 'Select Code Type' dialog change the option from 'Automatically determine the type of code to debug' to 'Debug these code types' and choose ONLY the options for you project. For me this was 'Managed (v2.0, v1.1, v1.0)'. Click OK. Then click Cancel in the 'Attach to Process' dialog.

At this point I'm now able to do F5 Debugging.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

As Peter mentioned, manually attaching through the Attach to Process dialog should work.

Another option is to temporarily update your project to .NET Framework v4.0. In the IDE, this can be done in 'Build' section of under project properties.

We are still investigating the issue to find a longer term solution.

Sorry for the inconvenience that this problem has caused.
