How To Debug Classic ASP Pages in VS 2005

VS 2005, like its predessor, does not allow debugging for classic ASP pages, by default. This forces you to attach the ASP worker process (w3wp.exe). Follow these steps:

1. Enable ASP debugging on the server.
2. Open the Classic ASP Page in VS 2005.
3. Set breakpoint.
4. View page in browser or run without debugging.
5. Debug | Attach to Process
6. Attach the IIS ASP worker process (w3wp.exe).
