Visual Studio 2012 - Stepping through multiple projects?

I have 2 projects under the same solution in visual studio 2012.

The 1st is a WPF project, the 2nd is an ASP project.

The WPF calls an asp page via the webbrowser control. Is there anyway I can step into the code behind of the ASP page even though it is not my start up project?

You can set both the WPF project and the ASP project to be loaded when you debug. In solution explorer, right click the solution node and select Properties. Ensure Common Properties\Startup project is selected in left tree. Click the Multiple startup projects radio button then in the list set the project you want to start when you debug (F5) to Start.

Now when you press F5 to debug both projects will be started and you can put breakpoints in both.

You need to attach the debbuger to corresponding ISS process. In Visual Studio:

Click "Debug" from the menu bar Click "Attach to Process" Check the "Show processes from all users" checkbox in the bottom left corner Select aspnet_wp.exe (or w3wp.exe depending on your ISS version) from the process list Click "Attach"
