Answer 1

I had the same symptoms but a completely different problem. I had attempted to install Url Scan and it didn't seem to work correctly as I could not find the .ini file to edit settings within. I had forgotten that I had installed it, but it appears by default it will prevent debugging from working.

Uninstalling Url Scan solved the issue for me. To uninstall it I had to right-click on the .msi file and choose Uninstall. Url Scan did not show up under the "Add or remove programs" section.

Answer 2

I was getting the same error when i was running the ASP.NET project from the IIS. I resolved this issue by configuring IIS.

1. Go to run
2. type appwiz.cpl and press enter.
3. Look for "Turn windows features on or off" and click on it
4. now windows will open for Turn windows features on or off
5. look for Internet Information service and select that option.
6. go to world wide web service under the Internet Information service branch
7. expand Application development feature
8. Select all the ASP and .net version. and click on OK.
9. now try running the application from asp.net , it will work :)

Steps:

1. Close all solutions in Visual Studio
2. open IIS7 (run > inetmgr)
3. Click your top node (computer name)
4. Open the "ISAPI and CGI Restrictions" option
5. check if your .Net version has the correct restriction (for example, if you're working with 4.0 is should be on "Allowed")
