Debugging a Web service

[Yuriy Galanter]

I have 2 projects in my solution a Web service and a Windows client that
uses it (referencing it via it's Add Web Reference URL). When I am trying to
debug and the clients makes a call to a method in the Web service, the
debugger doesn't step into the method, but instead performs it as a single
step and continues. Is there a way to step into Web service while staring
debugging from the client?

Thanks,

Yuriy Galanter.

G'day Yuriy.

Does the web method have the "DebuggerStepThrough" attribute applied? If
so, remove that and you should be able to step throught it.

Personally, I use wsdl.exe to generate a proxy for the web service, and include
that in the client-side project. This proxy always has DebuggerStepThrough
applied, so I remove this, and have always been able to step right through
into web methods without any issues...

HTH,
Cheers,
Paul

Paul,

Thanks for the fast reply. No there wasn't this attribute applied,
VS.NET IDE doesn't seem to do it. But weird thing happened, I didn't change
anything, just rebuilt the solution and now I can step into Web methods.
Weird.
On related topic, can the same be done with stored procedures? For
example when a command object calls a stored procedure - to step into it and
perform line by line?
