Debugging Visual Studio 2010/IE 8 - Unable to start program - Element not found

Question

Hi, When trying to debug an MVC2 app in VS2010 using IE 8, I sometimes get the following error (port number changes).

Unable to Start program 'http://localhost:55853/' Element not found

It is really difficult to find the problem as it seems to be totally random. Has anyone else come across this problem?

Answer 1

you can turn of dynamic port in project setting. By doing that, you can prevent starting multiple instance of asp.net developer server.
