Debigging global.asa in VS 2005

[kaczmar2@hotmail.com]

I am trying to set up a classic ASP project in Visual Studio 2005, and
I am unsire of how to debug the global.asa file (I can debug a classic
ASP file, though.):

1) Set a breakpoint on any ASP code line and run the debugger
2) In Visual Studio 2005, Select Debug --> Attach to process...
3) Click the Select.. button in the Attach To section
4) Highlight the inetinfo.exe process from the list and click Attach

I can stop on a breakpoint in an asp file, but how can on stop on a
breakpoint in global.asa? If you have to start the application first
and then attach to the process, aren't I already past global.asa?

If anyone has any insight, that would be great.

You would probably be better off posting in the .vsnet.debuggin g group.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of FPSE on our development web server (which
i think is required), I've never been able to attempt debugging classic asp
in VS.Net so I cannot answer your question.

Assuming you're using VBScript you might try inserting the Stop statement on
its own line. (If using JScript, it's debugger; on its own line.) When the
debugger is attached this should generate a debugging break (a sort-of
hard-coded break point) to make the debugger trap into the code.

I'm not certain it's possible to debug global.asa, but if it is, that should
do it.
