If you followed my previous post you probably now have a Flex + .NET project that makes a WebService call. If not, here’s a project you can use testDotNet.zip. To import this in Flex Builder choose File->Import->Flex Project and follow the steps.
Next open Visual Web Developer and open a Web Site in the same location as the Flex Builder project. Open web.config and make sure you have <compilation debug=”true”> (this inserts debugging symbols for the .NET code).
Now we need to use the same ASP.NET Developer Server for both the Flex Builder and Visual Web Developer. Since by default both tools try to start one instance we need a little trick to do that:
Start the MXML project through Flex Builder; this will start ASP.NET Developer Server usually on port 3000. Then go to Visual Web Developer; on Project Property Page (Right Click on the Project in the Solution Explorer) click Start Options and select Use Custom Server and enter http://localhost:3000/testDotNet/
Start also the .NET project just to connect the Visual Web Developer to the ASP.NET Developer Server instance. Now you will be able to debug both Flex and .NET code:
