Debugging COM in .NET

[Guest]

I have a COM DLL which I am using in an ASP.NET application, and I need to
debug into it, but I can't step into the COM DLL code from Visual Studio 2005
IDE. I found
this article, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811658, from the internet,
but it doesn't seem to work.

First of all, there is no aspnet_wp.exe; the closest thing I can find is
WebDev.WebServer.exe, which is described with "ASP.NET Development Server"
with Port 3227. So, I've tried attaching to this process, but I can't step
into it.
When I open the VB code file, it doesn't allow me to set the break point,
contrary to what the article states.

Help!

Hmmm.. Sounds like trying to tell someone how to solve Rubik's cube over
the phone.

I really think the best thing would be to debug the COM DLL from VB6 (or
whatever was used to create the COM DLL).
