How can I programatically check whether a Web Site has Silverlight debugging enabled (ie, whether the “Silverlight” checkbox under “Property Pages->Start Options” is checked)?
I know that for a Web Application (WAP), I can check this via EnvDTE ( by checking project.Properties.Item("WebApplication.SilverlightDebugging").Value), but for a Web Site, I can’t find an equivalent property.
For a Web Site project, there are properties named EnableASPXDebugging, EnableUnmanagedDebugging, and EnableSQLServerDebugging, but strangely there is no EnableSilverlightDebugging property. This might be a bug in Visual Studio.
Properties for Web Site projects are saved to the following file:
As a last resort, you can parse the file and read the value of the
enablesilverlightdebuggingattribute for your particular<Website>. Unfortunately, it seems that this file does not get updated until the project is closed, so the file may be out of sync with the actual setting.
