Getting error when I attempt to debug an ASP.NET 3.5 web site using Visual Studio 8.

Question

Hi,

I'm getting the following error when I attempt to debug a web site I've created with Visual Studio 8, and ASP.NET 3.5 Framework.

Anyone know how I can fix this issue?

Thanks, Greg

Auto-attach to process '[8036] aspnet_wp.exe' on machine 'S418-B-XA2A' failed. Check for one of the following.

1. The application you are trying to debug uses a version of the Microsoft .NET Framework that is not supported by the debugger.
2. The debugger has made an incorrect assumption about the Microsoft .NET Framework version your application is going to use.
3. The Microsoft .NET Framework version specified by you for debugging is incorrect.

Please see the Visual Studio .NET debugger documentation for correctly specifying the Microsoft .NET Framework version your application is going to use for debugging.

I think your IDE is defaulting to a different .NET framework version, you need to set it properly in the debugger, see for example : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241897(v=VS.90).aspx
