aspnet_wp.exe not running in task manager

Hi,

I am working on C# asp.net web application. It is building and running fine, but I dont see aspnet_wp.exe in task manager. I need to see this process as I want to make sure this process (asp.net worker process) is running under a specific account.

Please help.
Thanks.

Do you have "Show Processes from all Users" checked ?

Also, if you are running under the VS's built-in web server rather than IIS, then you won't have a aspnet_wp process at all.

I used aspnet_regiis.exe -i, but its not making any difference.

Thanks carl, enwhysee.

Yeah, thats what the problem was. I was running IIS6 on Windows Server 2003 and asp.net had w3wp.exe running. I checked the option - 'Run www in IIS 5.0 isolation mode' in IIS and that started aspnet_wp.exe.

I am not sure if this is a good solution as by checking that option, I am not making use of advanced features of IIS6.
Thanks.
