Trouble working with Visual Interdev

Hi all,

I am trying to debug/compile .asp files in visual studio 6.0 and apparently to me the configuration is a big nightmare.Can someone help me on how to setup visual studio to debug asp files.
thanks

I've tried many times to make the debugger work in VI 6.0 but only made it happen once!!!

I'll try and search for a similar post somewhere...I might get the answer tomorrow

Meanwhile I strongly suggest using the Response.Write approach in critical areas in your code, this is a good practice and NEVER lies :-)

Hope this helps!
Sincerely

Easiest is if you are running VID on the same computer as the web server. I once got remote debugging to work on a remote server but I'm not sure I could do it again.

On your own machine, assuming VID6, best is to use W2K or XP Pro.

First, you need to set up your machine as described here.

Then, make your project be the startup project, and pick the page you want to be the start page. Right-click on the project in the VID project explorer and set as startup project. Then find the page you want to begin with, right-click and set as start page. Open any of the asp pages and put in breakpoints as you want.

Press F5. If everything is setup right you should get a login for the debug user, then your code will execute and run to a breakpoint. When in break mode, use F10 and F11 to step over/into statements.

Well I followed as per the instructions on the link page, but when i tried to start a new project in Visual Interdev 6.0 it prompted for "What server do you want to use" and in the drop down menu I could see nothing. My OS is win 2k pro. Can I get help on this

Have you installed IIS on your W2K Pro computer? As an administrator, open the control panel - add/remove programs - add/remove windows components.

Yes I did install IIS..and it's working cool... how can I move further
