I have an ASP.NET website and when I press F5 it automatically attaches to the ASP.NET Development Server, how do I attach to IIS worker process instead when I press F5?

Debug->Attach To Process...
Select the aspnet_wp.exe process from the list.
If you're running IIS > version 5 the process will be w3wp.exe, and there will be one for every app pool (so if you don't know which app pool you're hitting, you'll need to attach to all of them).
open project properties, go to the web tab and choose the option for IIS.
That actually starts an instance of the app in IIS and attaches the debugger. If you only wanted to attach to an existing IIS instance, choose attach to process from the debug menu.
go to the properties of the web application. Select the "Start Options" section, and change from "USe default web server" to "use custom server". Enter "http://localhost" in the base url.
