Attach to running process?

Is it possible to attach the VS2005 debugger to an already running, and
published website? If I choose "Attach to process" from the menu and then
select the right process, set breakpoints, run the code, nothing happens.


Thanks for your help.
 
Yes it's on the same server (development), I am attaching to the process
IEXPLORE.EXE (although attaching to aspnet_wp.exe or inetinfo.exe didn't
help as well). In VS in the margin of the breakpoint it says "The breakpoint
will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document".

Thanks

IE runs the html and javascripts it gets from the site and knows nothing
about asp.net. The correct process is aspnet_wp.exe. What do you observe
when attaching to it? Do you have
<compilation debug="true"/> in the web.config file?

Hi Eliyahu,

Yes, I have <compilation debug="true"/> in the web.config file.

When I attach to aspnet_wp.exe, VS goes into sort of 'debug mode' (the stop
and pause buttons appear). But never is any breakpoint "triggered" in the
code-behind files when I call these pages in a browser.

I understand I need to compile with symbolic information prior to debugging.
There are no warnings of missing symbol info, but I also see no .pdb files
in my project. If I simply run by hitting F5 the breakpoints work fine. I
don't know what to look for now...
