Migrating asp.net website from IIS6 to IIS7 - Debugging differences

I recently migrated an application from IIS6 to IIS7. I've noticed two distinct differences and was wondering if someone could shed some light on them:

When I attach the debugger to the w3wp.exe process, it seems that the request times out much quicker than it did with XP. I set the executionTimeout attribute of the httpRuntime element in the web.config to be 864000 in hopes that it would execute for a very long time. This has not helped and I'm open to suggestions for how to allow for longer debugging sessions.

Answer

For #1, you need to turn off the "Ping Enabled" setting in the Advanced Properties for the application pool. Otherwise, if you sit on a breakpoint, the process can't respond to IIS's ping and it believes the process is hung and recycles the app pool. You probably want to turn off the idle timeout as well.

For #2, I'm not sure; even with Rick's answer it sounds like it should be working as you intend.
