    Attach to process

    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.

     

    Thanks!

    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).

    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..

    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...

    Thanks!

    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:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt727f1t(v=vs.100).aspx

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

     

    Grtz
