Debugging a MCMS 2002 project with PSS ticket resolution

I faced a tricky debugging issue in MCMS 2002 and resolved it using a PSS ticket. Read on to learn how I did it and what I learned from it.

Last week I had a nasty issue: I couldn’t get the debugger to attach to a process while working on a MCMS 2002 project.

As MCMS developers know, you can’t just hit F5 to fire off the debugger, you have to build your project, manually attach to the web process, and then browse to your site. So this little issue was giving me fits. I finally cried uncle and used one of my PSS tickets you get with an MSDN subscription.

It was such an obscure fix, I decided to throw it up on my blog for others who may have this issue.
