Debugging classic ASP crashes Visual Studio 2008 - how can I fix this?

I am debugging classic asp code using VS 2008 sp1 on Windows 7. Everything works fine, I join the process and can debug. However, if I stop the debugging of the visual studio, it will crash.

I read that recycling the application pool will help, but that did not help me end the debugging session without fail. I hunted through Google and overflowed the solution stack, but so far I have mostly found complaints.

Has anyone figured this out?

This QFE fixes three complete separate issues in the VS2008 SP1 debugger:

  • Debugger can hang IDE after setting a breakpoint when working with a large C ++ project
  • Breakpoints do not link correctly when the .msil file is built containing .line directives
  • VS crash while debugging classic ASP website and debugging stopped.

I had the same problem and came to the conclusion that after cleaning the web page and reading other user stories, VS 2008 has an error while debugging the classic asp! It turns off when you stop debugging. The time killer type should restart VS every time you debug.

I had to resort to using VS2005 to open classic ASP projects and debug them there. If I need to be able to work with the application in 2005 and 2008, I found that you can have two separate solution files, each of which is created by the corresponding application (for example, I have appName.sln, which I open in VS2008, and then appName2005.sln, which I open in VS2005). You will need to create a new solution in VS2005 and add files, and then save this solution with a slightly different name .sln filename. This works, it takes a little time to install.

Supposedly MS will solve this problem in VS2010, but they do not consider the patch release for VS2008 to be a rather important problem.
