Visual Studio 2010, C#, ASP.NET & SQL Server 2008 are my main development tools, recently I’ve bought a VDS (virtual dedicated server) which runs on Win server 2008 R2, my vendor has install SQL server 2008 express on my server, but I’m going to have VS2010 on my server also, as I think running and debugging my web apps on server would be much faster and easier than remote tests, is it possible at all to use VS2010 and code in my server? I can use remote desktop to view my server so I think it should be possible.
I use VS2010 ultimate on my local machine, what is the difference between VS2010 express and ultimate as I’ve that VS express is free of charge, so it is easy to download and install it on server
what should I do now? guide me please
You can also use remote debugging. Depending on how much control you have on your server you may be able to get it working. In Visual Studio when you choose Debug -> Attach To Process it allows you to specify a remote machine to connect to. On the remote machine you’d connect to the w3wp.exe process associated with your AppPool. If you went this route you would not need Visual Studio on your production machine.
