“Attach to process” doesn't show IIS worker thread running under my own account



Background



I want to run my ASP.NET site under full IIS on my local machine so I can be debugging more quickly after a rebuild. My team's policy is that developers don't have admin privileges on their machines. Even without admin rights, it should be possible to debug under IIS by configuring the IIS worker thread to run under my own account, but it's not working like that for me.



The worker process is running under my own account:

And when I am running Visual Studio as admin, the thread is shown as running under my own account:



attach dialog - admin



But when running Studio as a non-admin user, the process list doesn't include the IIS worker thread unless I tick "all users", and then the User Name is blank:



attach dialog - non-admin



Question



Is there anything I can do to get the thread to show up and be attachable when running Visual Studio under my own user?





Please use Google to learn session isolation. IIS worker processes, even if running under your account, are in session 0, not your logon user session.

Thanks Lex, that's interesting. Apparently session 0 isolation came in around 2007. This KB article from around 2015 suggests though that I should nevertheless be able to debug.

You can read your linked threads where I left my comments. ASP.NET development should run VS as administrator, and IIS running a true service account (not your account). If a team ask its members to do ASP.NET without that, I will laugh and quit to save my life. Of course, you have your own judgement.

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails

PHP contact form sending but not receiving emails I have created a contact form using PHP to send the data. The form seems to send fine as there are no errors and success message appears, however I am not receving the emails into the designated inbox. I am using PHPMailer as I originally tried just using the php 'mail' command which I now understand is a bit hit and miss. I cannot see why I would not be receving the emails so I would be very grateful for any help that could be given. I'm quite new to PHP so please be patient with me :) <?php use PHPMailerPHPMailerPHPMailer; use PHPMailerPHPMailerException; $msg = ""; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { require 'phpmailer/src/Exception.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/PHPMailer.php'; require 'phpmailer/src/SMTP.php'; function sendemail ($to, $from, $body) { $mail = new PHPMailer(true); $mail->setFrom($from); $mail->addAddress($to); $ma...

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished?

Do graphics cards have individual ID by which single devices can be distinguished? I have several graphics cards of the same manufacturer and same model and I want to distinguish them not only by the pcie socket they reside in but by some individual value I can read from the hardware. Is there such value and if so what would it be called and how could I access it? Right now I'm using modern nvidia cards (10xx series) and nvidia inspector.but I'd prefer if there was any value that was also applicable to amd. I have programming and scripting knowledge. I am running Windows 10 1 Answer 1 This is a powershell example to pull information from video cards. The DeviceID is supposed to be unique but only if the manufacturer supports Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). (I copied this directly from docs.microsoft.com) $strComputer = "." $colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_VideoC...

Create weekly swift ios local notifications

Create weekly swift ios local notifications I can create daily notifications but not weekly ones using swift 3 ios 10 User Notifications framework.
