I had a perfectly well running asp.net mvc application and I was debugging message sending via SignalRand I decided to stop debugging and went to edit some code. However, there was an error saying something about IIS termination and whether I want to do that because something (I assume – the application) cannot be stopped. (I am really sorry, but I didn’t read it at the time). So now I try to relaunch my program and it just won’t open. The website is trying to be opened but the loading circle in chrome just kept on spinning forever.
What I tried to do was:
1. restarted VS – didn’t help
2. restarted PC – didn’t help
3. created a new project, brought all files to it and launched it and it worked!
So then it worked for ~10 minutes or so and then just stopped again (this time no error message or anything). I tried changing a port in the settings of the project. Didn’t work. Tried changing back and it launched successfully. For a minute or so… 🙁
So finally, I tried putting a break point right at the
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start()
-> {
The breakpoint was hit, it successfully passed the next line
RouteTable.Routes.MapHubs();
and just disappeared at
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
Many times I tried and it always disappears at the same location. Going deeper is not an option since this is system method. I suspect something can be problematic with that, but I am not experienced with much configuration of asp.net.
P.S. many times VS was acting strange and even tho I set the breakpoint at the place I marked above, it showed the breakpoint with a message that it won’t be hit because the source differs from the current code (But I didn’t change a thing since before the very first crash! The only place I modified a few symbols at was at MyHub.cs which is an extended class for a Hub for SignalR)
Lastly, I tried deleting everything from bin folder so it got fully rebuilt, but without any success to revive my application.
What could be a possible problem, maybe someone had anything at least similar to this? Or maybe someone would be kind to help me at choosing better keywords while searching in google because “IIS termination” and “AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); not working” didn’t bring me much 🙁
