Debugging Server and Client-Side Code at the Same Time
Problem Description
Microsoft Speech Server applications employ both server-side and client-side code, which means you need to be able to debug code on both sides. By default, only client-side debugging is available. Other procedures have been documented that allow you to debug server-side code, but once you follow these steps you can't debug client-side code. So you're forced to use one or the other, while what you really need is to do both: client-side and server-side debugging, in the same debugger at the same time.
Solution
- From Visual Studio .NET, create a speech application using the 'Speech Web Application' template
- Select the speech project node in the Solution Explorer window.
- Right-click and select Properties.
- In the left pane, select Configuration Properties and then Debugging.
- Keep the Debug Mode set to Program.
- Clear out the command line arguments (delete 'http://localhost/yourproject/default.aspx').
- Ensure that Always Use Internet Explorer is set to false.
- Click OK to close the dialog box.
- Set up breakpoints in the code-behind.
- Add the script command 'debugger' to .js and .pf files.
If you start debugging using the F5 key from Visual Studio .NET, TASim.exe (the Telephony Application Simulator) will be launched. But because the Telephony Application Simulator does not have the application URL, it will wait for the application URL. This will give you an opportunity to attach to aspnet_wp.exe or w3sp.exe (the name will vary depending on which version of Microsoft Internet Information Services you are running), as follows: Enter the application URL in the Telephony Application Simulator. Before you click the OK button in the 'Open Start Page' dialog, switch to Visual Studio .NET. From the Debug menu, select Processes. In the Processes window, attach to aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe. Then switch back to the Telephony Application Simulator, and click the OK button.
The debugger will stop at breakpoints in the code-behind first, because the debugger is attached to aspnet_wp.exe or w3wp.exe. Once the page is rendered to the Telephony Application Simulator, the debugger will stop at the script command 'debugger' in the client-side code as well. This is because by default, the debugger is attached to the Telephony Application Simulator, which was set up by the 'Speech Web Application' template.
