  2. Right click => select properties
  3. Go to Identity tab and change the User Credentials to the same credentials that is being used to login to the Sharepoint Central Administration site.
  4. Dont forget to do a iisreset.

How To Debug WebParts in VS 2008

If we need to debug a WebPart which is being integrated into Sharepoint Website then have to modify the existing values in web.config as below :

<customErrors mode=“Off” />

<compilation batch=”false” debug=”true“>

Once the web.config is updated then you can directly set a breakpoint in your webpart source code and can debug in a Visual Studio environment.

1. Open your web part solution in VS 2008
2. Open Moss site or Web part page in a IE (Web Browser)
3. Place a Breakpoint in your code
4. Select Attach to Process from the DEBUG menu from the VS.
5. From the available process list select “w3wp.exe” & click on attached button.

This solution contains two assemblies with the same name, or the SharePoint server already has an assembly with the specified name.

if you prompted for an error "This solution contains two assemblies with the same name, or the SharePoint server already has an assembly with the specified name." at the time of deploying a custom web part or any component in sharepoint as the solution you have to do this :

See if the feature (webpart, lists, etc) that you're trying to add still exists in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES" path. if its then remove and try to deploy it again.
