How to debug (only) JavaScript in Visual Studio?

Question

I'm developing a webapplication (asp.net mvc 4) with Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, and as the solution is getting bigger, the debug is getting slower.

Need to know if there is a way to debug only my client side (javascript) on visual studio instead of the entire application (server+client).

Is there any way to attach to process of IE and get the breakpoints working ....?

Not interested on get the debugger running on entire client/server application, just client.

Answer 1

First open Visual studio ..select your project in solution explorer..Right click and choose option "browse with" then set IE as default browser.

Now open IE ..go to
Tools >> Internet option >> Advance>> uncheck the checkbox having "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer). and then click Apply and OK and you are done ..

Now you can set breakpoints in your JS file and then hit the debug button in VS..

EDIT:- For asp.net web application right click on the page which is your startup page(say default.aspx) and perform the same steps. :)
