Thanks for that
I got breakpoint hit, but in the web method that works. Looks like the exception occurs before the it hits the source code where I placed my break point in the method that is failing. I'll have to investigate some more. I really hate trawling through someone else's code. Also its more like an archaeological dig considering how old this stuff is.

If you are running it under IIS, and cannot find process to attach to, execute the first web method that works fine. This will load application pool and from that point on (until the next build) you will see this process in the list.

Having come from a C#/WCF background, I am having some problems with the web service. I have built the asmx web service and created an application within IIS to host it. When I use a browser to open the web service I can see all the published methods. I can invoke the methods. The first method works fine (no parameters to pass). The second gives me an exception. I have pointed the IIS application to where I the project is. If I comment out a method and rebuild the web site, when I refresh the browser, the method disappears. Remove the comments, rebuild, refresh the browser and it comes back, so I know that I am in the correct place and not using a copy of the web site. I have set a breakpoint in my code for the second method but it is ignored when I invoke it via the web browser. How do I debug the web service code in VS2010? Any help appreciated (I know re-doing it using wcf would be more appropriate, but I am just learning how it works at present).
