How to use Visual Studio to debug a local install of Telligent Community Server

A local instance of Telligent Community Server can not be debugged in the traditional way through Visual Studio debugging by simply tapping F5 or right-clicking a file and selecting "view in browser" if you have followed the Installation instructions on telligent.com and want to browse your site over http://localhost.  Instead you can follow the steps below.  These steps assume you've followed the installation steps and can browse your website from localhost.

1. Compile your Telligent solution.
2. Open a browser and navigate to your telligent homepage
3. In visual studio, select Debug -> Attach To Process
   
4. In the dialog that opens, you may need to check the boxes to show all processes by all users AND show processes in all sessions - this will depend on which user your community app pool is running as.  Once you've done that, you will want to look for the w3wp.exe task and attach to it
   
5. Next you will want to set your break-points in your code
   
6. Finally go back to the browser and navigate to the page that is invoking your code and your breakpoint should be hit.  You can now perform all of the typical debugging steps you'd normally perform.
