I know there were a couple similar questions, but none solved my problem.
This issue just started within the last couple of days. I don't always hit VS everyday, so I can't say for sure when it began.
When I start debugging, the app loads in IE, but the w3wp process dies with the message
"The program '[9252] w3wp.exe:
Managed' has exited with code 0
(0x0)."
I'm running Vista and debugging on IIS 7 (local machine). VS 2005. This is not a new environment. Everything had worked for months before this issue began.
I've Googled and found a number of solutions. I tried messing with the Process Model settings in the app pool. I tried changing the app pool. I've dug through all the settings of VS I could find that seemed applicable. I am running as administrator. Also, I run VS 2008 as well, and that is working fine.
Update: I tested another app and also had a problem. Though that app was configured to debug on the native VS web server (I forget what it's called off the top of my head), so the error is
The program [7192]
'WebDev.WebServer.EXE: Managed' has
exited with code 0 (0x0).
After about 8 hours of wasted time, I can answer my own question. It's an issue with VS2005/IE8. They, for whatever reason, do not play nice together. I uninstalled IE8 and everything is working fine.
I know Microsoft is a big company, but some interdepartmental communication and testing would be awesome.
I was having this same problem.
According to this Microsoft list of Visual Studio 2005 issues on Microsoft Vista, there are two requirements to fix this issue:
Start Visual Studio with Elevated Administrator Permissions
Make sure that the IIS 6 Compatibility Layer for IIS 7 is installed
The IIS 6 Compatibility components can be added by going to the Control Panel, selecting Programs and Features, and clicking Turn Windows features on or off. Make sure to check the IIS 6 Management Compatibility components under Internet Information Services.
Once I installed these components and rebooted I was able to debug.
EDIT: I still find that the process dies on my from time to time if I have other Internet Explorer browser windows open. Therefore, I have to make sure that the only Internet Explorer window that is open is the one that is debugging my Visual Studio 2005 code. I use FireFox to browse the web in parrallel if I need to.
This can happen if a stack overflow (no pun intended) occurs in your application. Stack overflows are usually caused by infinite recursion in your code.
I had the same problem since an update from latest weeks.
But solved by simply open the develompment tools and set the browser mode to ie7.
I get this if I have an existing IE window open when I start the debugger. Make sure you close all existing IE windows.
Using IE1 and VS 2003 (!) on Win 7 Enterprise N, I found that having additional IEs running made debugging impossible, but when starting the debug session after losing all IE windows worked.
Cost a lot of time and frustration.
I solved the issue on mine, by doing the following:
Go to IIS.
Go to Application Pools.
Click Advanced Settings on the relevant App Pool.
Find the key "Ide Time-out Action" and increase the value to something you think is right for you.

Did anyone encounter an error with ASP.NET debugging? I've made a really simple, empty MVC page, I've tried returning /Home/Index.cshtml and a string, and each time I get a windows jingle and the browser can't find the server. It doesn't happen when I run it without debugging though, then the website runs just fine.
I've also tried the default MVC template, with Bootstrap etc, and it's the same - runs without debugging, doesn't run with debugging.
It's probably important: I'm running Visual Studio 2017 on up-to-date Windows 10. I've reinstalled the system several weeks ago, really wouldn't want to do that again :/
Generally we could debug an app with the normal user, but sometimes we need to use the admin, for example, as far as I know, if we want to use the attach to process tool for remote debugging, we often run the VS as the admin or others.
This document share us the tasks we need administrator permissions to completeļ¼

System info: Win 7 x64 SP 1, IE 10, Visual Studio 2010
I've been researching this error all over.
visual studio debug error:
"unable to start program (File path) no more files"
This started with the installation of internet explorer 10 and is happening across all my web projects within Visual Studio 2010.
I've tried all possible solutions (but not VS re-installs) from registry entries (http://forums.asp.net/t/1891930.aspx/1), IE 10 reinstall (fail...won't let me reinstall due to existing version) to switching default launch browser (in Visual Studio, select a different browser such as Chrome to be default browser in "Browse With..." option in project..it works but is pain in the rear) but one thing I just tried which is making me wonder if there is an issue with how IE 10 is launched came from the following experiment:
Basically I did the same process of changing the default browser except that I picked IE 10 x86 version manually in the "Browse With..." option, set it as default and ran project. Voila, it works with no issues.
My next step was to confirm the default IE option in the "Browse With...". I found articles such as (http://lennybacon.com/post/2010/08/22/rehowtochangethedefaultbrowserinvisualstudioprogrammatically) which put me on the path to find out where the settings are for Visual Studios default browser settings.
I checked the browser.xml file and all looked ok including the registry entry pointing to it. I'm unable to check the version of the browser since MS, in it's infinite wisdom decided not to show that info in the Help -> About or anywhere else. so my gut feeling is that the default IE 10 being launched is the x64 bit version.
Does anyone know?
1) how I can confirm the default version of IE 10 launched since afore methods have not worked and
2) why would (I'm assuming) IE 10 x64 launch vs. the defined IE 10 x86 referenced version in the browser.xml file?
Thanks for any and all help.
Dave
UPDATE:
So from doing continual testing, it seems that after I ran the process to change the Default Browser settings in both the registry and the browser.xml file, upon launching the debug process in Visual Studio 2010, it automatically reverted back to the original default broswer settings which would launch the x64 version of IE 10. So in my case, it seems that the issue (error above) lies in the fact that debugging in Visual Studio 2010 using x64 browsers would cause the error. With no recourse, I ended up removing IE 10 from Windows Features and going through a painful process of getting IE 9 back on my system, I now can effectively debug using IE (x86).
It seems that MS is not pursuing any fixes for this issue of the default browser in VS 2010 from what I've read. There are in browser tools I've seen to do the default browser setting changes but don't want to bother with it/don't trust it will work.
Hopfully this helps others dealing with the same pain I have endured...
Thanks
Dave
When I ran into this problem (using IE 11) I noticed that iexplore was open about a hundred times in the task manager. After killing them all I was able to open my project just fine.
Since then, I have made a .bat file with this code: taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe /T
so now I just run the .bat when I get that error. (alternatively you could run that code from the cmd)
James Butler's response is good for killing all the open IE processes. Which seems to be the issue here. The best solution I have been using is to just set, "Don't open a page. Wait for a request from an external application." then I just refresh the URL (if already open in browser) each time I rerun the debugger.
Access in Project properties under the, "Web" option. Then change setting there.
Check the following registry key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth
Make sure that the value is Minimum
I started getting this error today after restarting from a Windows Update. I'm on Windows 8.1 desktop using VS.NET 2013. To fix I had to add another browser choice in VS debug that was pointing to the x86 version of IE11, and set that as the default. Although the post alludes to the x64 vs x86 browsers being the issue, this seems like an easier solution than the original poster's process of uninstalling and reinstalling browsers.
This blog explains how to set the default browser for debugging to IE x86: http://weblogs.asp.net/gurusarkar/visual-studio-web-developer-express-starting-two-instances-of-internet-explorer-and-throwing-an-error
Have you tried this: "...try selecting the project node in Solution Explorer and choose Set as StartUp Project". Just worked for me.

I think this is caused by a more general issue of low available system memory. In my case, Performance Monitor showed I was using 82% of my available memory when I was receiving the error. Looking at the processes, the culprit for me was lots of Chrome processes. I shut down Chrome, which freed up about 2 GB of memory, and then I was able to run the debugger successfully. Shutting down lots of IE processes would achieve the same thing of freeing up lots of memory. So I think the solution is just to free up system memory by shutting down whatever processes you don't need open.
This is what is working for me with windows 11 and edge:
Project Start Options - Don't open a page. Wait for a request from an
external application.
Start - Local IIS (Microsoft Edge)/Script
debugging disabled
Create a shortcut to launch the application like
this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
http://localhost/MyApplication/
I have a problem with Visual Studio 2010. When I start debugging it works slowly.
Internet Explorer opens, but the website loads extremely slowly.
My workmate and me work on the same project and he doesn't have any problem like that.
My hardware is 4G memory + Intel Core i5 CPU 3.20 GHz.
I stopped my anti-virus program but it couldn't be resolved.
I've had the same problem for over a year! And I solved it :)
I took me about 20 seconds to start debugging, and about 1 minute to stop it. It also took 2 minutes to load the solution! My colleague had NO problems with the same solution.
I found my way out of it by a coincidence.
I CHANGED the NAME of the solution, and things suddenly happened 30 times faster.
I CHANGED the solution name back and it slowed down again!
This is probably a FUBAR error made by the Microsoft development team. Don't try to figure out why it happens :)
This might be a IPV6 issue (that shows itself in windows vista/7 when using firefox or IE). I've had that at work and this is what made pages load instantly when using localhost (instead of the 20+ seconds that could happen on image-heavy websites I was developing).
IPv6 (taken from Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can )
Firefox supports IPv6 by default, which may cause connection problems on certain systems. To disable IPv6 in Firefox:
In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
In the Filter field, type network.dns.disableIPv6.
In the list of preferences, double-click network.dns.disableIPv6 to set its value to true.
For Internet Explorer, try using http://127.0.0.1:PORT_NUMBER/ where PORT_NUMBER is the port you can see in your address bar. If the loading of the page is faster, then you might want to go check the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file and make sure the only line mentioning localhost looks like 127.0.0.1 localhost.
Check to see if you have _NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment variable set. Getting symbols or pdb files for the assemblies used by your application from a symbol server could be the cause of the slow startup of your application when debugging. You can also look at the symbols setting in VS>Tools>Options>Debugging. Also, take a look at the output window and the status bar down at the bottom in VS when your app is loading and taking a long time to see what VS is busy doing.
Not sure if this applies to ASP.NET applications, but disabling the 'Show Parameter Values' option in the Call Stack window's context menu considerably speeds up the debugger on my machine.
Two things to check.
1. Remove all the parameters in the watch list.
2. Build >> Config Manager , Check the Configuration Mode: Debug/Release.
I have encountered the same problem. I could make it better by deleting the Folder created in the temporary aspnet folder. For that you need to close the solution that you have opened and then delete. I don't know if there is any other solution.
I am running VS 2008 SP1 on a pretty high-powered Win XP machine. My startup project is a web project that was written by another developer (I'm not that well versed in web development). Start Options = launch specific page, Server = default Web server, debuggers = ASP.NET.
When I push F5, my browser opens a new tab in Firefox (my default browser) - but then it takes over 3 minutes for the web page to appear! I tried "step into" instead of F5, and the first executable line of code is only hit after that same 3 minutes.
Other developers do not have this problem. There is clearly something wrong with my configuration, but I haven't the faintest idea where to start looking.
Your suggestions are most appreciated!
There were issues reported with FireFox and the VS built-in development server. It has something to do with IPv6 issue.
With me it's similar: IE/Opera do it quickly, FireFox/Safari terribly slow.
You should be able to fix it the following way:
In your FF type in the "about:config" address. Then find the setting "network.dns.disableIPv6" and set it to true. Now it should become fast.
Are there any particular settings one should optimally enable/disable/tweak when doing ASP.Net MVC development on local test machine Windows 7 using IIS 7.5 and moving in and out the debugger & recompiling refrequnetly (integration/troubleshooting stage now before TDD fantactics throw stones - although admittedly I could have more under test), I work with 64 bit edition but figure this probably applicable at both x86/x64?
I'll start with one:
Ping Period (seconds) - increase from 90 to 3000 (or something somewhat higher) so you can if unfortunately need to a good bit of time whilst debugging or disable ping on local test machine.

However I see over stuff such as:
Disable Overlapped Recycle & Recycling settings etc.. that I wonder if could increase performance or make debugging less friction
Question prompted by the annoyance that I've ran across a few recent debugging issues (not apparent in production) including a random, and tempormental error "An assembly with the same simple name blah-blah-lah-assembly-definiton has already been imported . Try removing one of the references or sign them to enable side-by-side." (iisreset resovles) and generally slow debugging attaching. The points and answers to this question need not help with the above (I believe it may be related to spark view engine as that where the stacktrace ends) but figure it worth mentioning incase someone has a direct suggestion *
quick tip: if you're experiencing slow response times (~1-1.5 sec) from browsers other than internet explorer (eg: firefox, chrome, safari) while running your mvc/ other web app on your local machine using win7/vista, it is due to dns resolution with ipv6.
firefox solution: disable ipv6 in about:config (boolean cfg 'network.dns.disableIPv6')
machine wide soft solution: uncomment the good old localhost address in the hosts file (%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts):
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
machine wide hard solution: disable ipv6 completely

Embarcadero guys just published a fresh article on similar topic for Delphi Prism (aka Delphi for .NET), so why not take a look on their suggestions?
http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/40108
From the experience i have working with asp.net mvc, i can tell that there are no special settings for IIS 7 or IIS 7.5 for working on asp.net mvc projects. It works fine in the default form, you just need to create a new website and point it to the folder that has the files for you application.
For debugger if you ask, you can simply put a breakpoint in the code and hit that breakpoint when you run the application from visual studio. But by default the application will use the development web server that fires up when you run a web application from visual studio. If you want to the application to run using the IIS installed on your system you will have to change the project settings. See here for a screen shot of how to do so
http://blogs.bootcampedu.com/blog/post/Debugging-aspnet-mvc-application-using-IIS.aspx
Additionally you can also use System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break(); for putting a break point in the code.
If you only want to debug your application, I recommend to use the built-in development server of Visual Studio.
If you debugged the most of it or want to do that on IIS, I recommend you the Ctrl+Alt+P shortcut, which enables you to attach a debugger. Select w3wp.exe and you can debug with IIS.
