Visual Studio Debug Mode

[sloDavid]

My developer-license copy is on a server (so that client and staff can view/test), but I need to debug through Visual Studio. I can't tell if my problems are caused by dev license issues or VS2010 issues.

When I try to run the site (7.0.6) through Visual Studio's debugger (we programmed a custom report), we get a Policy Exception on Microsoft.Web.Services3: "Required permissions cannot be acquired." The Network Service acct has permissions, and I've changed the Identity of my "Default Web Site's" Application Pool from "ApplicationPoolIdentity" to "NetworkService", but still no dice. Of course, this may all be irrelevant anyway if I'm going to have dev license issues regardless.

Ideas? Has anyone successfully done this? I will be REALLY bummed if the only solution is either tracing or trying to figure out Visual Studio's remote debugger.

Did you try navigating to the ac install folder using windows explorer, then right click > properties > security > check full access ?

I usually do most of my development on a local site for this reason- debug problems. If I can't do that, then I put logger.debug statements in the code on the remote site and it writes messages to the App.log file in the App_Data/Logs folder. No fun that way, but sometimes it can't be helped.

You can also enable web trace to log your custom debug messages and stuff.
