How to debug custom SharePoint Web Service

Brass Contributor

Hi There,

I have question about my custom Web Service for SharePoint. I create a web service for SharePoint and publish it into the layouts folder. currently, I have a client app will call remote the web service. I will trace the code by using vs .NET 2019. when my code call remote web service I cannot go into the source code of the remote web service to see what happened. before I just change the web.config in the layouts folder and can watch the difference in the code. but now I cannot do it. How should I solve it out??

Is there some configuration missing now??

Besides modifying your web.config you'd have to attach your debugger to the W3WP (IIS) worker process. You can do so from within Visual Studio --> Debug --> Attach to process.

There is probably more than 1 instance of this process running. You could attach to all of them or figure out the correct one by following the steps detailed in below blog:

Hope this helps
