What is the ASP.NET process for IIS 7.0?

Question

Looking at what works and doesn't jump anything.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It should be w3wp.exe

EDIT: According to Darren's comment, you should also check "Show processes from all users" in Task Manager, if this is where you are looking for the process.

Answer 2

Just to add something here, the process handler comes in handy when trying to track a process: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Deletes the task manager and can be replaced.

Answer 3

make sure you check all processes (vs)

Answer 4

Also, if you need to take a look at the .NET / unmanaged stack, just uninstall Process Explorer and look at your w3wp.exe processes to examine the memory and other characteristics without the need for remote / local debugging (just look at the .NET tab on the process properties) . It will show all .NET performance counters for this particular process.

Awesome tool!

Answer 5

Using TaskManager should show you the W3WP.exe process - this is an IIS workflow, if you have several instances, adding the "Command line" column will show you which application pool is placed on each of them in the -ap switch. In addition, the IIS Manager interface has a "Workflows" function, which, if you double-click on it, you will see a list of processes, memory and processor that they consume, and double-clicking on an instance will show you a list of requests for it, really useful when you are trying to figure out a request for "improper service."
