I’ve posted the slides here. I created a google code repository for Sok Munkae here. I’d love to have some contributors get involved to help me take Sok Munkae to the next level, and make it really useful as application guidance.

IIS7 and Visual Studio Debugging

Posted by indomitablehef | Filed under .Net, Visual Studio

So, after setting up Visual Studio 2008 on Windows Vista, I had trouble getting the Visual Studio F5 debugging to work. No error messages, but when the browser opened to localhost:1401 (or whatever), it just couldn’t connect. “unable to connect to localhost:1401…” So, I went looking for a solution. I found all kinds of blog posts about trouble with IIS7 and Visual Studio 2005, but nothing for 2008. I walked through all the solutions for VS2005, including making sure I had Windows Authentication and IIS6 compatibility features turned on (like this), but it had no effect. Finally, I decided to just punt. I published the web application (Build, Publish…) to a folder, and then created a new application in IIS pointing to that folder. Sure enough, it worked fine. My plan for debugging was to just connect to the debugger to the browser process. But before I did, I tried F5 again one more time. It worked. I dunno why. But if you’re pulling your hair out trying to get it to work…well, try this.
