Debugging Web Applications That Are DLLs 

ISAPI, NSAPI, and Apache applications are actually DLLs that contain predefined entry points. The Web server passes request messages to the application by making calls to these entry points. Because these applications are DLLs, you can debug them by setting your application's run parameters to launch the server.
To set up your application's run parameters, choose RunParameters and set the Host Application and Run Parameters to specify the executable for the Web server and any parameters it requires when you launch it. For details about these values on your Web server, see the documentation provided by you Web server... more 

Debugging Server Applications 

Debugging Web server applications presents some unique problems, because they run in response to messages from a Web server. You can not simply launch your application from the IDE, because that leaves the Web server out of the loop, and your application will not find the request message it is expecting.
The following topics describe techniques you can use to debug Web server applications:

• Using the Web Application Debugger
• Debugging Web Applications that are DLLs

 

Using the Web Application Debugger 

The Web Application Debugger provides an easy way to monitor HTTP requests, responses, and response times. The Web Application Debugger takes the place of the Web server. Once you have debugged your application, you can convert it to one of the supported types of Web application and install it with a commercial Web server.
To use the Web Application Debugger, you must first create your Web application as a Web Application Debugger executable. Whether you are using Web Broker or WebSnap, the wizard that creates your Web server application includes this as an option when you first begin the application.... more
