visual studio intellitrace with w3wp not working

Question

How can I run intellitrace when attaching to the process w3wp in IIS rather than running the site through casini. When I try to attach a MVC application to w3wp I can debug the site without problem. I would like to see the intellitrace when using IIS.

Answer 1

There are a few options for using IntelliTrace with IIS:

1. If you are launching IIS from the debugger, IntelliTrace should be available.
2. You can choose to use the Standalone IntelliTrace Collector which you can enable via PowerShell scripts

Unfortunately IntelliTrace does not support attaching to a process. Please let me know if you need more information on either option.
