Hi Deeban,

This problem can occur if there is some error in the web.config file. To resolve this check for the well-formedness of this document.
For more details refer "Unable to Start Debugging" Error Message When You Send Debug HTTP Request

There is a possibility that there is no web.config file for the project or there is no Execute permission for the project.

If you already have a web.config file, double check it's well-formedness.

If the web.config file is missing, add one to the directory that contains the ASP.NET application. You can copy one from the numerous samples applications available with the framework installation.

Make sure that the following section reads like this:

defaultLanguage="c#"
debug="true"
/>

On the other hand, if your project already has a Web.config file, and the above section is set as specified, follow these steps to set the Execute Permissions property for the project folder:

1. Start Internet Services Manager, and then click the project that you are trying to debug.
2. Right-click the project, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Directory tab.
4. If None is selected in the Execute Permissions list, click Scripts only, and then click Apply

i hope this will help you.....

You can get this error if you are user who is trying to remotely debug and you are not a member of the Debugger Users group on the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) server. To add the appropriate user to the Debugger Users group, follow these steps on the Web server:

1. From the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.
2. In the left pane, click to expand the Computer Management, System Tools, and Local Users and Groups nodes.
3. Click Groups, and then double-click Debugger Users.
4. In the Debugger Users Properties dialog box, click Add.
5. In the Select Users or Groups dialog box, select the appropriate user, and then click OK.
6. Click OK to exit the Debugger Users Properties dialog box.
7. Close the Computer Management explorer.

i hope this might help you...
