Asp.Net: Debug website in iis

Question

Is it possible to debug an Asp.Net website running on iis? I am able to debug an Asp.Net web application project, but not a web site, and wanted to know if this is by design or am I missing something.

Answer 1

Had this same problem. The key is to not open the project using the visual studio project file.

1. In IIS, under your Default Web Site, you need to have already created an application, and pointed it at the folder containing the files.
2. In Visual Studio, go to File > Open > Web Site (Shift+Alt+O).
3. Select the newly-created application.
4. You'll notice the solution explorer now uses the URL in place of the project name. (http://localhost/mysite/)
5. Click the debug arrow like normal.

Answer 2

you can attached the asp_wp into your Visual Studio debuggar to debug it.
