Can I set the process title for IIS6's w3wp.exe?
In Visual Studio's "Attach to Process" dialog I can see a Title column for each of the processes available. Is there any way for me to set the title for a specific w3wp.exe process to reflect the application pool it's hosting? PS - I'm aware of iisapp.vbs and the way it enables me to identify which w3wp.exe belongs to which application ...
How can I determine which w3wp.exe process belongs to which web site?
I have an IIS6 web server that is hosting two application pools. Occasionally, one of the w3wp processes will spike the CPU for a while, and both app pools seem to suffer the consequences. I'm not sure which one is which, and without that information I don't know which application to blame. How can I tell which w3wp belongs to which A...

How can I guarantee the w3wp process exists before turning on perfmon logging?

Can VS 2008 kill w3wp before building a project?
Is there a way that I can make VS 2008 always kill the w3wp process before building a project? I feel like it used to do this on my machine, but now I always have to kill it manually before kicking off a build or else it will fail to deploy the new binaries to my localhost. EDIT: If I don't manually kill the process before kicking off ...
How do you automatically attach to a specific IIS pool on remote server?
Currently three developers share one IIS box for testing. Because of third party utils and other restrictions we can't run the project locally so remote debugging is the only option. Our current process is to remote to the webserver, run iisapp.vps to get the PID of our individual sites and then run remote debugging in VS2008, to connect...

Asp.net crashing in mscorlib
This is related to another question of mine After eliminating the obvious (or so I thought) and biggest memory consumer (images in asp.net cache), not much has changed. We use Enterprise Library Exception Handling in this web (don't know why, but we do) and these exceptions do not get logged. Just for the record, server has 4 GB of memo...
High CPU on w3wp
I've deployed a .NET website to a 2008 (IIS7) server and the site seems to fly for up to 30-50 concurrent users. When load testing it the site comes to a grinding halt sometime after 100 concurrent users. Page loads go from 1.5 seconds to 90+ w3wp hits 100% and stays that way until I stop the load test. SQL on the other hand idles at...

ASP.Net web site gets burst of requests that crashes IIS worker process
I'm running a fairly high volume asp.net web site across a two serve cluster. Typical load is around 20 requests/second per server as logged by the ASP.Net Apps performance object.

Hi everyone, I´m facing a huge problem since a couple weeks. I´ve an asp.net application hosted under IIS7 (W2008 SP1), and every a couple hours it starts consuming near 50% of the CPU when maybe there're no users connected. It´s understandable since we are using Quartz.net to make some application recicling, but we could not reproduce t...

AppPool and worker process
A simple question: Is the AppPool same as the worker process w3wp? If this is the case when the w3wp.exe shuts down after "idle timeout" why does the AppPool show as still running on the IIS Manager? Also, when the w3wp.exe shuts down after "idle timeout", does it not restart automatically? or does it restart only when traffic comes i...
Which requests cause a w3wp process to grow considerably?
On a production environment, how can one discover which Asp.Net http requests, whether aspx or asmx or custom, are causing the most memory pressure within a w3wp.exe process? I don't mean memory leaks here. It's a good healthy application that disposes all it's objects nicely. Microsoft's generational GC does it's work fine. Some reques...
