Hi all - im trying to debug a user control of mine by attaching the debugger to process.
Normally I just attach to the w3wp.exe process and hit the page. However when I am doing this it fires up one of those test URLs like when you do F5 in an application and creates a http://localhost:5080/Umbraco web app.
Why is it doing this? I assume that is stopping me from debugging the application.
The http://locahost:... url is the one which Cassini is running on (Cassini is the web server built into Visual Studio). There will be no problem with this running, it's a different process (WebDevServer.exe or something).
You can still attach to w3wp.exe (which is IIS under Windows Vista & Windows 7) or aspnet_wp.exe (Windows XP).
Hi, I was wondering - is there a way to debug when running on a different server? I am using a dev server environment separate from localhost, so w3wp.exe and aspnet_wp.exe aren't available...

I am a newbie who just started to learn Umbraco using Webmatrix on Vista..
When I try to debug, I don't see any "w3wp.exe" or "aspnet_wp.exe"
Should I attach another process to be able to debug?
Not sure about vista, but on xp using webmatrix, the process to attach to is WebMatrix.exe
Thank you David, but I just figured it out..
The process is "iisexpress.exe" as the site is running on IIS Express currently..

If you're able to run the app on a dev server, I'm sure you could setup the environment on localhost? (which is my preffered way of debugging tbh).
I haven't tried this before, but according to MSDN it should be possible if the pdb files are on the dev server:

Let me know if that works, might give it a try when I'm not able to quickly setup an environment myself :-)
