   Alternatively, select Debug > Start Debugging:

2. Visual Studio prompts a question, Debugging Not Enabled.

   Select one of the following options:

   * Modify the Web.config file to enable debugging: select this option to have Visual Studio edit the Web.config file. By selecting this option, the question is not prompted again, but can be re-enabled by setting the compilation debug parameter to false in the Web.config file, as follows:

     <compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="true">

   * Run without debugging: select this option to avoid editing the Web.config file.

   Click OK to verify the selection.
