ASP.NET Debugging - Help!

Tuesday, December 2, 2003

I am not able to get debugging to work from Visual Studio.NET 2003 for ASP.NET applications on my laptop.

I've Googled and done the obvious things. The message is that I am “unable to attach to the Debugger. Please ensure you are a member of the Debuggers group.” - which I am.

I am running WinXp Professional and debugging locally. I have uninstalled and re-installed the .NET Framework 1.1 and Visual Studio 2003.

The only thing I can think of is that my laptop is operating in Workgroup mode - not a domain member. It is in the “quick-switch” user mode and not the Ctrl-Alt-Del to Logon mode.

Now Joel has called me and says he can't get it to work either on his machine, which is configured similarly.

For my recent project, I just moved onto a domain-based system for interactive debugging. But now I would like to see if I can solve this problem.

Any ideas?

Have you installed IISLockdown and/or URLScan?

Mike: Ive had a similar issue in the past and there was an error in the web.config file.

Try running the project (CTRL-F5) and if there's an error with the web.config, it will alert you as to where it is.

I hope this solves your problem.

Make sure you're not running URLscan or IISlockdown wizard, if you are you need to configure URLscan to allow DEBUG.
