aspnet_wp is missing

[Barkha]

Hello!
I am working on asp.net web service and want to debug it. For this purpose
I go to Debug>> Processes and see the availaible processess. I don't get to
see aspnet worker process running.
Now when I send me reuquest say for example:
http://localhost/mymodule/test.aspx
and then go to the above mentioned step , I do find aspnet_wp.exe as an
availiable process.
I fail to understand why this process is not running before sending the
request.
In machine.config my processModel settings are
username = machine
password = autogenerate
Any pointers?
Thanks and Regards
barkha shah

The process is only loaded as required which in this case is when the first
page is requested.
The process will also timeout and terminate after a configurable(
machine.config ) idle time.
