Attach to process - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/3s68z0b3.aspx

Make sure "Show processes from all users" is checked, and pick w3wp.exe

You may need to hit the service once first to make sure its started.

Answer 4

To debug an app that's hosted by IIS, you want to attach to process (in Visual Studio it's Tools->Attach to Process or Ctrl+Alt+P) and pick w3wp.exe from the list (you might have to check a few boxes for the process to show up).

Answer 5

Another option is to use our free VS Extension called Conveyor https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vs-publisher-1448185.ConveyorbyKeyoti With it you open up IIS Express to remote connections on your network (or even the web through tunnelling). Once you've done that you can debug the project directly from VS and connect to the Conveyor port number (or domain name via tunnelling) and debug as you would locally.
