Answer 1

Just to clarify Jimmie R. Houts answer…

If you want to debug the web application VS and IIS you can do the following:

1. Host the site inside IIS (virtual directory etc).

2. Then in VS2005 do this:

   • Right Click on Web Project → Properties → Start options → Use Custom Server → Base URL → Enter Site Address as Hosted in IIS.
   • Hit F5 and you will be able to Debug your code

Same works for VS 2008 also.
