Visual Studio 2003 'debug processes' fails to see NET running in theIIS worker process (w3wp)

Usually, to debug my .NET dll, I typically just run my web application
until the DLL in question is invoked - at which point I can just
attach to it via Visual Studio .Net, and debug it. Two weeks ago I ran
into a problem where Visual Studio would fail to recognize that the
NET code is even associated to the IIS process - w3wp.exe. I have
checked with Process Explorer, and the .NET DLL is correctly
associated to the w3wp process - yet Visual Studio still fails to
recognize this fact. It sees w3wp, but only shows 'Win32' in the Type
column.

I have managed to reproduce this rather strange behavior on two
seperate machines, both running Windows 2003, and VS.net 2003. Both
systems were previously always used for development - I'm a little
puzzled as to why this started happening all of a sudden. I was away
from that code for a few months, so I'm thinking maybe this could be
the doing of a Microsoft update. Yet, on the second machine, it was
originally working (today - it actually saw NET running in w3wp) - and
without updating or anything, I rebuilt a few of my projects and the
next time I tried to debug, it didn't see .NET. In fact, on the second
machine, it hasn't recognized NET running in that process since that
time.

Has anyone else seen this behavior before? I don't necessarily NEED to
debug, but it would certainly make my job a little easier to have it
work again.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello All, In IIS 6.0 We have a concept of worker processes and application pools. As I understand it, we can have multiple worker process per appliction pool. Each worker process is dedicated to a pool. If I assign only one application to a applicaton pool and have multiple worker processes assigned to that pool. Will my application be processed by many worker processes?

I can't seem to figure out how to debug my own asp.net apps on my windows 2003 small business server thats running sharepoint. When I try to debug an app it tells me the project is not configured to be debugged. the web.config file is set to debug=true. I have all rights on the server. I don't know what else to try, this is killing me. Anyone know what I can try next? thanks.

Wierd situation here. Running ASP.NET 1.1 on Win2003. I have to manually attach the debugger to a process in order to debug. So I set a breakpoint in an obvious place (like within the Page.Load event) that will catch it. For Win2003, I attach to the w3wp.exe process. I've made sure my project is building as DEBUG. I've made sure the breakpoint it reachable. I've made sure my web.config has debug=true. But when I run through the...
