Question

I have IIS 5.1 on a XP machine, and visual studio 2005. How do I go about attaching my debugger to IIS instance.

BTW: I’m not seeing the IIS process within the running processes or probably I don’t know what to look for .

Answer 1

In Visual Studio:

1. Click “Debug” from the menu bar
2. Click “Attach to Process”
3. Check the “Show processes from all users” checkbox in the bottom left corner
4. Select aspnet_wp.exe, w3p.exe, or w3wp.exe from the process list
5. Click “Attach”
