Debugging asp.net in remote with VS.net

[neodatatype]

Hi all,

 

I wonder if is it possible to do a debug of asp/asp.net pages with VisualStudio.net in remote.

 

I explain

I have IIS on a PC running my site (asp.net).

Can I with VS.net on a different PC (connected via lan-TCP/IP) do a debug of my site?

 

Thank you!

Yes you can, I believe that you need frontpage extensions installed.

[neodatatype]

Yes you can

 

How?

 

How I have to configure VS?

 

Thank you

Just press the Play button.

 

Also make sure that you are not trying to run through a firewall.

Hi,

 

essentially you don't need FrontPage extenstions (if you don't like it as me :D ). I'm using virtual folder named 'solution' which points to the folder on the server where are located .sln and .vbproj files, I disabled anonymous access to this folder too. The second thing I did is shared folder 'project_name_solution' on the server, this is also protected with password. If you're migrating from localhost project to remote project, don't forget to change the file(s) .vbproj.web and .sln file to match current location..

 

When you're adding a new project in VS you gonna be asked to enter URL, here use the URL including 'solution' virtual folder, in the second dialog enter the UNC path \\....\project_name_solution

 

I've proved this approach and it's worknig fine.

Good luck

Jarda

do you have step-by-step with creating the virtual directory and also linking to the project? Also do both computers need to be Xp Pro ?
