I followed his steps and realized that I couldn't debug the code I wrote with Visual Studio. Then I found this post on iis.net, which finally helped me to debug my code. Steps to debug: I assume that: You already created a solution and implemeted one of the examples of Rober McMurray or your own one. You signed your dll and deployed it to your Global Assembly Cache You installed and co...
