In VS2008, when I have a web service and a client of that web service in the same solution, I can debug the client by first selecting Debug / Start new instance on the web service project. That launches the web service in the debugger and opens my default browser to show the root directory of the web service. When I close the browser, VS2008 switches from the debugger back into development mode (leaving the web service running), and I’m able to begin debugging my client when I’m ready.
I just tried the same procedure (on a converted solution) with VS2010 Beta 2, and find that the debugger continues to run after closing the browser, leaving the option Debug / Start Debugging unavailable.
Is this a broken/missing feature? Is there a different/better way to accomplish the same goal?
Turns out pressing the STOP button in the debugger leaves the WCF service running.
