Hello.

I'm having difficulty debugging a windows control embedded in an ASP.Net page.


I added the control project to an existing web project, and set the the control project to be the startup project.

I go through the following steps to set up debugging on the project:

1). Project->Control Properties->Debugging

Start Action
Start Project Radio Button is selected


2). Tools->Debug Processes

iexplorer.exe is selected.
Attach button is clicked.

3). Attach to process window
Common Language Runtime check box is checked
Script check box is checked

Unable to attach to the process error is fired.

HERE'S A HYPERLINK to the screenshots of the steps I took to produce the error:

You are trying to add a windows control to an ASP.NET project? Um... you can't put windows application controls in ASP.NET. You can only put web controls into an ASP.NET application.

Really?

I actually did.

It works too.

It's consuming web services.

The tutorial is here:

I wanted to put a web control in the page, however, this seemed to be a good way to go.

Thanks.

Ok, you got me on this one.

However, as a web developer I seldom make the assumption that A) my user is going to be using I.E. (despite the extremely high market penetration) and B) that they also will have the .NET framework installed such that I may create a richer web application by using embedded .NET windows forms controls. Interesting idea though.
