Just wondering. I know Abyss will run ASP.Net 3.5 OK.

No clue what Abyss is, but you can host ASP.NET application in just about anything you want to with a bit of coding. There is an entire chapter devoted to this topic in Esposito's "Programming ASP.NET" book.

Abyss is a small lightweight web server that I've used in the past, you can Google it. Worked pretty well with ASP.Net 3.5 for some testing I did, was hoping to use it on a beater box that can't support Windows Server 2008 very well. Allegedly new version of Abyss is coming out in June, got a beta link, but haven't played with it yet. I'm not sure how it will the IIS integration features in .Net 4.0 would be equivalent-ed (if that is a word). I guess I'll wait and see.

Keep an eye on Cassini Developers Edition.

It hasn't been updated yet but I'm sure it will support 4.0 after Microsoft releases the updated Cassini code after the official 4.0 launch.

Yes, I am in the middle of a significant refactor of CassiniDev and will release 4.0 soon. But in the meantime, if you do not require to use an IP other than loopback, I have illustrated a means of reliably controlling WebDevHost (the core of VS Dev Server) here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/test-with-vs-devserver-2.aspx (see the second example) p.s. Hey kervin! ;-)

lol, hey Sky. Great job with CassiniDev, it's a very useful project. I always recommend it.

I just released the CassiniDev 3.5.1/4.0.1 beta with a simple test fixture example if you are interested.
Sky Sanders
me again - just released a VS 2008 dev server replacement with integrated logging. VS10 coming soon. http://skysanders.net/subtext/archive/2010/05/22/release-cassinidev-for-visual-studio-2008-a-drop-in.aspx

Cool, thanks a lot. I'm checking it out right now.
