I'm using VS2010 Beta 2 and I turned on .NET Framework source stepping, so I had to disable 'Just My Code'. But now the w3wp.exe process doesn't show up in the list of processes I can attach to. I've got both show all processes boxes ticked. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Make sure you have the Show processes in all sessions checkbox checked!
