Powershell: Attach Debugger To ASP.NET Worker Process By Name
For those who don't like the "Attach To Process" dialog box, just pass the application pool name to this Powershell function:
function debug-wp([string]$name)
{
if([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($name))
{
throw "Usage: debug-wp -Name "<appPoolName>"
}
$wplist = get-wmiobject Win32_Process -f "Name='w3wp.exe'"
foreach($wp in $wplist)
{
if($wp.CommandLine -match "-ap `"(.+)`"")
{
if($name -eq $matches[1])
{
& vsjitdebugger.exe -p $wp.ProcessID
break
}
}
}
if($name -ne $matches[1])
{
write-host "Could not find AppPool" $name
}
}
