  • Creating Web Parts for SharePoint says:

    You can debug a SharePoint project that contains a
    Web Part just as you would debug other Visual Studio
    projects. When you start the Visual Studio debugger,
    Visual Studio opens the SharePoint site.

    To begin debugging your code, add the Web Part to a
    Web Part page in SharePoint.

    Troubleshooting SharePoint Solutions.
