- Debugging Custom Timer Jobs
  
  Inevitably at some phase during the development of an application, you must
  debug your custom code to isolate and troubleshoot a defect or to monitor the
  state of the application. Thankfully, you can debug timer jobs by using Visual
  Studio just as you would any other managed application. However, it is not as
  easy as pressing F5 or manually attaching to the W3WP.exe process that hosts
  application pools. Timer jobs are executed by a special Windows service that is
  set up on the server when you install Windows SharePoint Services: the Windows
  SharePoint Services Timer. This service triggers the executable Owstimer.exe.
  You must attach to this process to debug custom timer jobs.
  
  It can be challenging at times to determine whether the application has
  attached to the process because the jobs may not fire for a few minutes at a
  time. You could be left with Visual Studio attached to the Owstimer.exe process
  with breakpoints set, not knowing if the job is running or if the breakpoints
  are not being hit because of an issue with loading the symbol (*.pdb) files. An
  easy way to determine whether the timer job is running is to add a single line
  of code into the SPJobDefinition.Execute method that displays a
  messagebox on the server and blocks execution of the timer job until you close
  the message box.
  
  By adding the following code to the Execute method, you not only see
  your timer jobs running (as shown in Figure 3), but you also have time to
  manually attach the Visual Studio debugger to the Owstimer.exe process. After
  attaching the debugger to the process, click Ignore in the message box to
  enable the timer job to continue to run.
