ASP.Net Web Site running in IIS - change to ASP.Net Development Server

Question

Hi everyone,

My client gave me this web solution, in it various projects, and the problematic project (for me) is the Web Site.

I've copied the code to test web server (2008) and installed VS 2008 so I could step through the code on the server due to some weirdness.

Anyhow, when I open the solution locally on my personal computer, it runs on Cassini (http://localhost:3452/MyApp) because I'm not on a server OS. However, when I run the app on the web server, when I hit F5, it runs oh http://localhost/MyApp.

When I'm running the code on the server, how do I point the web site to use Cassini?

Thanks for your help in advance! tperri

In the web tab of the project settings, you should be able to specify which web server to use. However, there is no need to change the server for debugging - simply attach the debugger (Debug/Attach to Process) to w3wp.exe.
