Question of the Day 9-17-03

Question

Since this forum was my suggestion I'll get things started by posting a Question of the Day taken from one of the MCSD Practice Exams. I would invite anyone to replay with not only the answer but the reasoning for the answer. One of the biggest goals Microsoft has in their exam structure is to make sure you know WHY the answer you choose is correct. So here goes... -------------------------------------------------- Charles has created a component for his company that will perform complex scientific calculations. Another developer at the company Josh wants to use Charles' component in an ASP.NET application that Josh is developing. The Web application resides on one of the company's servers. Josh wants to be able to remotely debug the component while it is running in his Web application. Which of the following conditions must be met to accomplish this task? (Select all choices that are correct.) A. The Web server must be rinning Windows 2000 or Windows XP (Professional Server or Advanced Server). B. A copy of all assemblies used by the Web application must reside in the global assembly cache on Josh's computer. C. The debug attribute of the compiliation node in the Web.config file on the Web server must be set to true . D. The source code of Charles' component must reside in the same directory as the Web application on the Web server. E. Charles' component must be registered on Josh's computer as well as on the Web server.

djp you were correct.... Answer: Only choice A and C are correct. When debugging from a client computer a component that is running on a Web server the client computer must run Windows NT Windows 2000 or Windows XP and the Web server must run either Windows 2000 or Windows XP (Professional Server or Advanced Server). Also the Web.config file on the Web server must be configured to permit debugging. The Web.config file may be edited with Notepad or any text editor. The debug attribute of the compilation node should be changed to true in order to allow debugging. Any DLLs that are used by the Web application will be accessed from the Web server not the client computer. Registering the component on the client computer is not required as the component is actually running on the Web server. It is also not required to have source code on the Web server.

I would guess : A C A: these are the minimum requirements for server for remote debugging C: The application needs to be compiled in debug mode
