You need to be debugging a project that includes the right HttpModule for Browser link to work. It is mentioned in this post. An MVC project and Web forms will include the HttpModule that inserts the required JavaScript code into your pages for Browser link to work. You can check that the bottom of your page have the following (view source):

<!-- Visual Studio Browser Link -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/__vwd/js/artery"></script>
<!-- End Browser Link -->

An empty ASP.NET project does not work out of the box. Copying the following from an MVC project into the web.config of an empty ASP.NET project will insert the magic JavaScript, but it will also stop your page from displaying. Not sure how to just get the HttpModule that is needed and not the MVC view blocking. Visual studio will report that the browser is connected though.

<system.webServer>
   <handlers>
      <remove name="BlockViewHandler"/>
      <add name="BlockViewHandler" path="*" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler" />
   </handlers>
</system.webServer>
