How can I debug asmx webservices running on IIS? I read that I must Attach to process called aspnet_wp or w3wp. But I can not find these processes... I selected checkbox show processes from all users but still nothing. What can be wrong?

regards

If your service is not running, then there might not be a worker process running. Start your service by accessing it from the browser, of use "View In Browser" from inside of Visual Studio.
