Debugging a HTTP Handler

 Hi,

            I am trying to debug a HTTP Handler in Visual Studio and the break point is not getting hit. Does anyone have an idea on how to go about debugging HTTP Handlers in Visual Studio?

            I am using VS 2010 Premium, .net 4.0 on aWindows 7 machine. In my Web Application I have a HTTP Handler in/HTTPHandler/TrackingHandler.cs

 The following is in my web config file:

<system.webServer><handlers><add name="TrackingHandler" path="/tx/*" verb="*" type="ProjectNamespace.TrackingHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" /></handlers></system.webServer>

My tracker looks like below

namespace ProjectNamespace
{
    public class TrackingHandler : IHttpHandler
    {
        public bool IsReusable
        {
            get { return true; }
        }

        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {
             //Breakpoint on the very first line below
             string tracker = Path.GetFileName(context.Request.PhysicalPath);
              .......
         }
     }
}

I start my Web Application using any random page in Visual Studio Debug. I then maually edit the URL to point to the/tx/ directory and some random string after it. For e.g. my current URL looks like http://localhost:53699/tx/sdfs. I thought this should pull up the breakpoint on the first line of  ProcessRequest() but it does not. 

I’d be grateful for any ideas.
