1) I start my client Windows app
2) At a breakpoint I attach to the aspnet_wp.exe
3) I continue stepping through code

I am expecting to make it over to the service project (where I have a
breakpoint) but it never goes there.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Ron

Why can't you just hit F5 on your Website project?

You will need to change its setting to:

Project Properties -> Start Options -> "Don't open a page. Wait for a
request from an external application."

Then hit F5. Visual Studio will run a "ASP.NET Development Server", which is
an analog to IIS but listens to a different port. Change your client to
connect to that port, and then you are free to debug your web app.
