RE: VS 2008 Web Projects will not debug - filename...syntax is inc

Feng,

More information but still need help.

I was browsing some other posts on this site that led me to a file called
Browsers.xml located at C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0

The contents are below and has Notepad in it.

I removed the section with Notepad and set IsDefault under Internet Explorer
to True.

I thought I had it! But when I ran a Web Service project in the debugger the
problem is still there. Not only that - VS 08 put Notepad back in the
Browser.xml file. It only changes this file back if I try to debug a web
project. Not if I just open VS, Open the project, then close.

Hope this new information helps!

Hello Brain,

This behavior is strange. Notepad should not pop up while we're debugging
ASP.net application, so we can first find out how and why the notepad
process was created.

We can use Process Explorer
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx) to find
this information:
1. When notepad is popped up after we started the web application under
debug, open the process explorer and click "View|Show Process Tree" to open
the tree view mode of Process Explorer. Process tree reflects the
parent-child relationship between processes where child processes are shown
directly beneath their parent and right-indented. Here we can see the
parent of the notepad.exe process.
2. Open the property of the notepad.exe by double click. In the "Image"
tab, we can see the arguments passed to the notepad.exe from the "Command
Line" textbox.

Though we have not seen the Internet Explorer window, it might be started
without a visible window. We can find if the process of "Internet Explorer"
is presented in the process tree.

In addition, this problem might be caused by corrupted project settings. If
you create a new project, do we have the problem?

Please let me know about the information above so that I can provide
further assistance on this problem. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
Feng Chen(v-fengch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.')
