I am trying to set a breakpoint in an ASP page that isn’t working

  • 0

I am trying to set a breakpoint in an ASP page that isn’t working correctly.

I am doing this in visual studio 2005 on Windows server 2008.

Whenever I try to set the breakpoint with the mouse, the IDE opens up a different page and sets a breakpoint somewhere in that page. I don’t know why it is doing this.

I have better luck setting the breakpoint using F9, but those breakpoints don’t get hit, anyway. The breakpoints that are set in the page that visual studio opens automatically are getting hit, but this doesn’t help me, because I don’t need to debug that page!

This is my first time debugging classic ASP, so I could use some help.

Thanks

    I’ve just tested debugging of classic ASP in VS 2008 on server 2008 and it works fine. I haven’t got VS2005 to test it on that.

    However if memory serves I’ve seen this problem when the root folder for the web site project (and you are using a web site not a web application project right?) and the Home directory path in the IIS configuration. E.g., the VS solution points to an UNC path whereas the IIS points to a physical drive. In this case VS can’t marry up the file path of the script in the ASP process with the file path of source code in the solution.
