Great concept, if you’re like me and hate having really really long one line strings… e.g. a query this is the solution for you.
Example, you may have the following… which won’t work.

How to get the application pool process id
Many times I’ve been working on two sites in Visual Studio 2010, and I get this common problem all the time. Which process to attach? w3wp.exe is the only thing that comes up, and we have no other way of knowing. One method is to identify what the worker process is called.
