I found the solution there too! I'm glad I need to enable Terminal Services to debug my code. (a) you'd think the installer could tell you "terminal services is disabled, you must enable it to do anything useful" and (b) why is terminal service needed?

I ran into this my first day using 2005 also, wtf does Terminal Services have to do with debugging?

I ran into the same thing too. I've never needed Terminal Services on my machine and have always had it disabled (one less intrusion vector). I would like to see an explanation as to why it needs to be enabled.

Definitely annoying!
Why at least not document this dependency??
I guess all microsofties run terminal service on their desktops? but still hard to imagine that "not a single person" in MS realized that tens of thousands of other developers don't have or don't want to enable TS.

WTF! Microsoft - come on! This is so ridiculous.

Hey - Thanks so much for finding the resolution!! (like most peeps, I have Term Svcs disabled) You saved me from getting really annoyed and wasting time at on the microsoft site. I really appreciate your sharing your knowledge!

Why on earth would i want to enable the terminal services service on my home pc just so i can debug my web app?

That's a workaround and not the solution surely?

I tried the solution and it works -- It's an odd solution, but obviously the correct solution.

thanks so much for the tip. That did it. Makes no sense (of course) but it did it.

Thank you ,it works

Projects---Projectname Properties--Debug---Disable vs hosting

thanks, only took a minute to fix this problem w/ some help from google

My Boss always tells me not to mess up with working machines! This is a very good example - last night I went to Services CPL for something else and saw that Terminal Services are running so I Disabled it.

Today morning VS2005 is shouting at me "Binding is invalid"!!

Thank You guys

Thanks Oz. Good solution. I prefer to keep Terminal Services disabed.

Thanks!

Projects -> [Projectname Properties] -> Debug -> Disable the VS hosting process.

This worked fine.  I didn't have to enable terminal services.  Not sure if I have to do this every time I have a new project yet.

Thanks so much for your tutorings.

Finally I sloved the problem after upgrading the Visual Studio 2005.
