    How do you debug a user control from within umbraco?

    Hi,

    I am developing a series of user controls and have a solution set up with Umbraco and a Web Project that copies the relevant files to the Umbraco folders on Post Build event.

    I am interested in finding out the best way to debug the user controls as currently I am building and running umbraco to test them, this means I completetly loose the ability to debug through Visual Studio.

    Any help with this would be really appreciated.

    Thanks,

    B

    In visual studio, add an existing website (which will be the umbraco site) to your solution and set the website as the Startup Project. Then, when you debug, you can also be debugging your usercontrols.

    You can also use the Debug -> Attach to process, and select the w3wp.exe (the IIS process), and the just run your umbraco website, and your debugger will be hit when you usercontrol is loaded.

    Thanks for the reply Seth, this wouldn't work for me as I am hooking into Umbraco to create members.

    I have added in the required DLLs and config settings but I must be missing something.

    I checked SQL profiler and noticed that the following code was continually getting called when trying to debug my user controls

    Select userNoConsole, userDisabled, userType,startStructureID, 
    startMediaId, userName,userLogin,userEmail,userDefaultPermissions, 
    userLanguage, defaultToLiveEditing from umbracoUser where id = @id

    Any Ideas?
