SYMPTOMS
When you debug a Visual InterDev Web project, you do not receive a warning from the debugger that you cannot connect to the Web server. The debugger does not start, and Internet Explorer opens with the following error message:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site 'http://servername'.

A connection with the server could not be established.



CAUSE
The Web service has not been started.



RESOLUTION
Restart the Web service. When you shut down the Web service in this scenario, you might receive the following error message:

The web server could not be controlled.

If this message occurs, you need to restart your Web server.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open a Web project, and enable server debugging.
 * 2) On the Debug menu, click Start and log in.
 * 3) On the Debug menu, click End.
 * 4) Stop the Web service from the Microsoft Management Console.
 * 5) On the Debug menu, click Start.

The error message appears in the browser.
