Hi,

You should also copy the assembly itself to the bin folder of the website. If all goes well, the breakpoints should be solid. Good luck.

Greetz,

Thanks:

I copy the .dll (assume this is what you indicate as assembly) and still no trace.  Does Web.config need to be changed?

In the run dir web has  key="EnableServicesFrameworkTracing" value="false"

set to true still the same

Lee

No, web.config doesn't need to be changed.
The basics are pretty simple:

• You need to have the dll and pdb from the debug build in the bin folder
• Visual studio needs to be started with elevated permissions to be able to attach to process
• You attach your visual studio to the w3wp.exe process for exactly that website

If it's not working, one of these conditions is not met.

If you can't find what's wrong, I'd try to change something in the module that you can verify in the site and rebuild, to be absolutely sure you have the right dll.

Stefan

Thanks

I run VS as Administrator, is that the 'elevated permissions' you reference?

Lee

By the way, I'm not familiar with the setting you mentioned but I can't imagine how it would influence debugging.

Assembly means .dll file, indeed :-)

Yes, as an administrator is correct. If you don't, Vs won't allow you to attach at all, so you'd notice  that.

Stefan:
What are your hourly rate for what we are discussing?
I have a spec detailing the info on my Server with root access that you would work in.
If you would rather not post it here send in a email to [email protected]
I have two pending actions to complete also that I probably need help.

I would need a signed NDA as the mod is patented.

Thanks, I'll drop you an email. Before talking hourly rates, we can first try to get you going, right? :-)

Stefan

Lee,

in the project properties ("Build" tab) you can change the output path for the debug configuration to something like "..\..\..\bin" (relative to your csproj file). You may just click on "Browse..." and select the installation's bin folder. Then both the assembly and the pdb files are in the right place, and you don't have to copy them...

Happy DNNing!
