It is surely frustrating when VS or VWD crashes on you or hangs with "Not Responsing" message. If you do not have reliable repro steps, the best piece of information you can provide to us is a debug dump. He is how you can obtain it. If you are using Visual Studio 1. Start Visual Studio. 2. Start another instance of VS. 3. In the second instance click Tools | Attach to Process.. . 4. In the list of processes locate devenv.exe. 5. Click Select... and explicitly choose 'Native' and 'Managed' code. 6. Click OK and OK to close Select dialog and Attach to Process dialog. 7. Go back to the first instance of VS and repro the crash. 8. Upon the crash control should go to the second instance of VS. 9. In the second instance...
Mike Volodarsky on the IIS team just published some very useful articles describing how to setup and configure IIS7 to properly work with Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2005. The article covers necessary components needing to be installed, and the required configuration needed to create, edit and debug web applications using IIS7 and Visual Studio. For Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer users using IIS7, or wanting to use IIS7, I highly recommend taking a look: VS 2005: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/431/using-visual-studio-2005-with-iis-70/ VS 2008: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/387/using-visual-studio-2008-with-iis-70/ Cheers!

If you previously had ASP.NET MVC Preview 1 (CTP 1) and had already created a few projects on it then you might have to take this additional step to convert your project to ASP.NET MVC Preview 2 (MIX 2008) [After installing MVC Preview 2 ( Resources here )]. In ASP.NET MVC Preview 2 we introduced a special MVC Project flavor GUID for MVC Projects. Some of the special MVC project behaviors described in my previous post " Tooling Features Overview " may not function as expected e.g. new 'MVC' node under the 'Web' node for 'Add new Items Dialog Box' may not show... To make the project features to function as expected in Preview 2, open the MVC project file (.csproj/.vbproj) of the project...
The feature I'm most excited about in Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is ironically one you might not notice at all. Problem If you're reading this, you probably know (and are still untangling the double-negative logic of) the "Disable script debugging" option in IE. Say you just spent 10 hours debugging script. It's time for a break. You read your favorite blog. Suddenly, you are presented with: Needless to say, you probably did not "wish to debug" the rest of the world's script... especially after a day of debugging your own. But you hesitate to uncheck the option because you know you're going to need it again tomorrow. Solution IE8 now enables debugging on-demand. Thanks to a feature we tucked into VS2008...

When you add a global.asax file to your "Web Application Projects (WAPs) like below: and then write code in Application_Start event and try to debug it like below using Visual Studio inbuilt Development Web Server Then during your first debug the breakpoint is hit but during your subsequent debug runs the breakpoint is not hit. The reason behind this is that we do not kill the ASP.Net Web Server process after your every debug run and hence Application_Start() is not fired every time. There is a good reason why we do so... Starting ASP.Net Web Server process is an expensive task and in most of the scenarios recycling this process after every debug would adversely impact your performance... If you do not want to debug...
