Re: F5 stopped attaching the debugger automatically

Using VS 2008 SP1 with an ASP.NET project.

Suddenly I lost the ability to automatically have the debugger attached
automatically when I run in debug mode (F5). I have 'ASP.NET' checked in
the project properties->Web section. Integrated Windows authentication is
checked in IIS. debug is enabled in web.config. I don't get any errors. I
have this issue whether I am using IIS or the VS web server. Manually
attaching the debugger works but I need to restore the ability to run in
debug mode as I always had been.


Ok I found out that the problem is because I have a <location> surrounding
<system.web> as in
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">

As I remember having this pre SP1 caused the behavior mentioned in this
url:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?Feedb
ackID=327456

Basically it created another <system.web> which had <compilation
debug="true" defaultLanguage="c#"> in it instead of adding it in the first
<system.web>. Actually the first <system.web> had it but the parser is not
parsing corectly. This caused the web.config to have two <system.web>
sections!


So it seems in SP1 the debugger just doesn't run. So what the heck is this?
A fix that seems to be a bad hack just to get rid of the behavior?
