"Stop debugger when browser window is closed" is missing in Visual Studio 2015

Question

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015 Version 14.0.25420.01 Update 3

I can't seem to find the "stop debugger when browser window is closed" option.

Is this option no longer available in Visual Studio Professional 2015 Version 14.0.25420.01 Update 3?

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2015 was officially released by Microsoft on July 20, 2015(The announcement page is '404' currently). Visual Studio 2015 update3 is released on June 27, 2016.

If you use some searching tech such as in Google:

"Stop debugger when browser window is closed" + before:2016-7-30

You will find nothing related to this, the only two things related to this:

Stop Debugging stops IIS Express hence application stop running in browser in Visual Studio 2015

IIS Express immediately shutting down, hence web application stops running, on click 'Stop Debugging' in Visual Studio 2013 IDE

And why these two things come up is because they update the vs2019 content.

So as Dai mentioned, vs2015 doesn't have this feature.

Actually, the related update should be integrated since vs 2017. Currently the official document only have content since Visual Studio 2017 version 15.9.0. The earlier version was not recorded. The feature should integrate before this version.

By the way, because someone's misunderstanding, product team change the name to 'Stop debugger when browser window is closed, close browser when debugging stops' in Aug 29, 2018.
