Debugging Silverlight Applications in VS.NET 2008

I spent an hour or so this morning trying to figure out why I could not debug my Silverlight application that is being housed inside a ASP.NET MVC app.

It turned out that the the Silverlight Debugger was not turned on in my ASP.NET MVC app and turning it on solved the issue. Who knows why it was not turned on after I setup the Silverlight app in the website but anyway.

Here are the steps to turn it on:

- Right-click on the web project from within VS.NET
- Select Properties
- In the Properties window select the Web tab
- At the very bottom of the web tab there is a set of checkboxes for the debuggers that will be enabled for this project. Make sure that the Silverlight check-box is set.
