Can't Get Into Debug Mode

[Wayne Wengert]

I am running an aspx page in IE6 and when it loads, I get an error
======================
A Runtime error has occured.
Do you wish to debug?

Line 100
Expected '{'
=======================
But when I click on "Yes", I do not get into debug? I do have the options to
Disable Script debugging unchecked. Any thoughts on how I can get into debug
mode here?

there could be several causes...

the most obvious is that the web app was not compiled in debug mode.
try adding this to the web.config file:
<compilation debug="true"/>

unfortunately, if you are using VS .NET 2003 and IIS 5.1, there are
hundreds (possibly thousands) of little things that can prevent you
from debugging local and/or remote web applications -- the IDE will
often give you a pointer to the error if you open the web applications
solution file and try to start debugging from within VS (free advice:
don't blindly believe FrontPage error messages -- I have seen improper
file and folder permissions cause this error)

Thanks. I'll pursue those.
