Re: QUERY: debugging ASP VBScript

To manually attach, follow the steps.
1. Browse to one of the Pages within the website that you are trying to
debug. This will start the IIS Process if not already started.
2. Within Visual Studio, Click on Debug--> Process Menu
3. Make sure that Show System Process is checked.
4. ASP Applications are hosted by the dllhost.exe process. If you have
defined an application name in IIS (Virtual directory properties, then you
shouold see it here, else sort by the process and click on the dllhost.exe
(all if you are not sure) and click on attach. You have to do this one by
one.
5. Click on the Close button
6. Set the Breakpoints in the ASP code
7. Navigate to the page.
8. Click on Visual Studio, sometimes you might get a message box which has
to be dismissed before the page can continue to the breakpoint.

Let me know what you get. I use this method all the time. When applications
becomes complex, you don't want to Login, locate the menu, make a couple of
dropdown selections to hit the break point. Hence I have the web application
running and whenever I want to debug I follow these steps and when I don't
want the debugger, I click on the Stop button or the dettach all menu from
the Debug Menu.
