Why can't I attach the debugger?

Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and trying to debug a website created in ASP Classic. I have read numerous tutorials, however nothing seems to be working (PEBKAC?). I have enabled server-side debugging in IIS and am attaching the debugger to dllhost.exe. When I open my page in Google Chrome, set breakpoints and set VS to debug, nothing happens. I don't get any errors so I'm not sure what else to post.

Any ideas?

Thank you. :)

I assume you found this article?? http://www.codeproject.com/KB/debug/DebugVBScriptVS2008.aspx — Ken, Apr 29 '10 at 19:18

Are you attaching to the w3wp process in your IDE? If your IIS site is running on your local host, then this SHOULD do the trick.

hmmm, prlby different process name in IIS5. Anyhow, the IIS process is the one you need to attach too. – Muad'Dib Apr 29 '10 at 19:15

Attach to either w3wp.exe or aspnet_wp.exe - depending on your OS and IIS version.
