All folks who work on VS and ASP.NET and work on multiple web projects/websites finds its very tedious to find and attach the right solution to right application pool. Go to command prompt, find application pool ID, go to debug -> attach process and attach it…..grrrrrrrrr!
I wrote a small macro which you can put in your macros and give it a short cut and will be really quick to do above of all and attach w3wp easily with 3 keyboard clicks.
