hi all,

Normally when we want to debug any application.. we run it in Visual Studio and use the breakpoints. that works fine...

But I have a scenario that application is deployed in IIS server 7 and I wanted to debug it without opening that application in visual studio.

NOTE.... application is deployed on physical path on IIS server.

:)

EDITING::: Application is using webservices, and web services are deployed over IIS through Physical Path. So we have to add the web services reference in Application to run it properly.
while if we want to debug the web services, so than we have to run them in Visual Studio and add the reference of that locally build web service in application and after finished, re add the reference in application.

BUT I wanted that reference remains same of Deployed service, I just open the services from physical path in VS, debug that through break points and application uses that from IIS.

I know a bit stupid or strange scenario,, but this is what and how I want.

Regards,

Solution 1

Build your code in DEBUG mode in Visual Studio. Set a breakpoint in your code. Press F5 to start debugging.

It wasn't in your question when I posted my answer.

The other option is to either attach your code to the ASP process through tools-->Attach to Process, or do it the old fashioned way by writing a log or sending an email to yourself at critical points in the system so you can see where it falls over.
