• Visual Studio Debug ASP page with .NET COM obj using VS2005??

  I have classical ASP pages using .NET object through COM interop. I used to be able to debug these .NET ojects by navigating to the page in IE, opening the solution of the objecst in VS2003, attaching to the process, and setting break points. I have now installed VS2005 and would like to accomplish the same thing, but the "dllhost" process of IIS does not show as running .NET/managed code anymore and I am not able to attach to it. I did find another couple of threads about problems with debugging classical ASP pages, but it wasn't clear if/how they applied to my situation. Is there any chance of getting this to work, or do ...Show All

• Visual Studio Weird Stepping Behavior

  Hey Folks, I have a problem with some weird stepping behavior in VS 2003 and C#. While stepping into a function or subroutine with any kind of branching, the debugger will step on each branch evaluation (each case in a switch, both the if and the else, etc.) and actually step out of the routine before entering the chosen branch. This is also true of routines calling other functions or subroutines. The debugger shows the program step out of the 'parent' routine before it shows the steps in the 'child' routine; even though the child call is in the middle or early in the parent's lifetime. The QuickWatch also shows <undefined value ...Show All

• Visual Studio How Do I Set A "Release" Build for ASP.NET 2.0 Applications Using MSBuild?

  We are using VS2005 RC1. In "Build | Configuration Manager", we no longer have a "Release" configuration in the drop-down list. We only get "Debug". How do we specify a "Release" configuration so that we can specify the /p:flavor="release" parameter for MSBuild Thanks. Hi Alex, ASP.NET projects only have the Debug configuration in the IDE, and don't support adding other configurations. You'd have to ask on ASP.NET forums for a more detailed explanation of this decision. You can build a "Release" configuration with MSBuild by using the AspNetConfiguration property, but even then it's not exactly a real c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Project Creation Fails because of Sharepoint

  OK this one is killing me.  I have done the install about 3 times and keep getting the same error.  When I go to create a new team project, I step through the wizard and click finish.  The wizard then goes on to create the Reporting Services Part, the Source Control part, and when it gets to Share Point it fails on authentication.  Everything is in a domain and I have used service accounts as specified per the install. Here is the kicker, when I am local (terminal serviced into team foundation server) all goes well, but when I am on my workstation it fails and does not give me a whole lot to go on.  It barks about p ...Show All
