Hi markgoldin,

To remote debugging the web project, we could use the VS remote debugging tool.

Some prerequisites. 

• Visual Studio remote debugging components must be installed on the server you want to debug. For more information, see Setting Up Remote Debugging.

• By default, the ASP.NET worker process runs as an ASPNET user process. As a result, you must have Administrator privileges on the computer where ASP.NET runs to debug it. The name of the ASP.NET worker process varies by debug scenario and version of IIS. For more information, see How to: Find the Name of the ASP.NET Process.
