  3. When starting to use Visual Studio, sometimes you don't want the browser to stop debugging or detach from the process.
    - Every time you stop debugging and then refresh the browser the application stops showing because the IIS process is terminated

    Solution:
    - The way you solve this problem is: When debugging, don't stop debugging with a big red button (stop) instead navigate to the Debug menu and click on detach-all, this will leave the application running in the background so you can do your modification to the page and still see the changes in the browser.
