VS2010 + IE8 Debugging woes - Element not found
- by Chin
I am having great difficulty trying to debug with vs2010 and IE8, though I think the problem is more IE8 specific.
When starting a debug session 9 times out of 10 I will have the following problem.
IE tab says connecting.. - then after a 5 second wait I will get an error in VS saying element not found.
Even when I click ok to dismiss the error, the IE window still shows connecting...
I will then have to kill the IE process to be able to close IE to try again.
Sometimes however I am lucky and it starts. But the whole thing is so random I have no clue where to start. One thing I have noticed is that I always have 2 IE processes started even though there is only one window open. One has a small footprint of 100k, I presume it is some kind of helper.
I am using a static port with the built in WebDev server.
If anyone has had similar problems please let me know how you resolved it. Its driving me nuts!
thanks
