Debugging Timeout on Vista IIS7 with Visual Studio

by Fred Mastro 2. September 2008 01:42

Well I've had this problem awhile.. where if you move over to Vista and IIS 7 you'll notice that your Debug sessions timeout very quickly, 90 seconds to be exact.

It's very annoying.  I had once went through my app pool changing every time value I found to something higher just to fix it for the moment, which is a bad idea. I usually like to know why something happens and figure how to fix it properly.

So I came across a forum article on asp.net written by jshallard.

Here is the solution for fixing your Debugging Timeout Issue:
I went with the first option, I like to debug forever

In IIS 7 go to the Application Pools and select the Advanced Settings for the pool which you process runs in. In the Process Model section you can do one of two things;
    * Set the Ping Enabled property to False. This will stop IIS checking to see if the worker process is still running and keep your process alive permanently (or until you stop your debugged process)
    * If you prefer to allow IIS to continue the monitoring process then change the Ping Maximum Response Timeout value to something larger than 90 seconds (default value).

Highlights

  • Some websites I've worked on. This is a small collection of sites I've developed or added to awhile back.
    		•

  • Revenge Movie Trailer. Trailer I made with Adobe Premiere and After Effects. Jason Christman is the main star and I'm the director behind the camera.
    		•

  • Essential Software For your Mac. - I'm a Microsoft geek, but I've switched over to Mac. There was a lot of stuff I needed to get installed that I missed on my Windows machine. Also I had no idea how to do it :p Here's some help.

  • Speed Football. I wanted to make a special effect like the Smallville or Superman running fast. All the other ones I've seen, the person in the frame was the only moving object while everything else was blurred. I wanted to create the effect but interact with another normal moving object.

  • Code Snippets and Quickies. Sometims I find something or develop something that I think is useful and it can be copied and pasted anywhere for someone to use. Here's a collection of things I've posted on.
