I want to attach to process on my iis. I don't want to force my iis configuration to my colleagues. So how can I debug a web project, without storing its server config in the project meta data. The options are iis or developer server, I want neither. Is there a little known hack in the meta data, outside of the UI that will just work? ...
I have had trouble getting web pages to load within Cassini for about a week now. I'm able to open a telnet session to the server - assuming I'm hosting on port 8101, typing telnet localhost 8101 results in opening a connection. I can simply type GET and eventually get back a response: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Server: ASP.NET Developm...
Visual Studio is x86 until at least the 2010 release comes around update: this is still an issue in VS2010, there is no native 64bit Cassini support. My question is can anyone think of a way or know of an independent ASP.NET debug server that's x64 for 2008 or 2010? Background: Our ASP.NET application runs against Oracle as the DB. S...
I have an asp.net mvc project, and I replaced the default css the wizard built with the iui css and javascript package. They were placed in ~/Content/iui/ folder. When i ran the site through the dev web server, the css didnt get used. I managed to fix it by adding the iui folder to the project in the project explorer. That's all I di...
I am introducing Selenium tests into my build for the first time. I figured that to do this in NAnt, I would have to start the WebDev server first: <exec program="path/to/WebDev.WebServer.exe" commandline="/port:51150 /path:path/to/website" failonerror="true" resultproperty="selenium.webdev.server.running" spawn="true"> </ex...
As part of my local testing process, I manually run the webdev.webserver.exe executable from a batch file. However, sometimes I would like to debug the app that runs in the ASP.NET Development Server process from within Visual Studio 2008, but I get an error whenever I try to attach to the executable: "Unable to attach to process". Doe...
Hello. I think I've seen this done once, but I cannot find it again after a long Googling/Binging session! I'd like to create a new ASP.NET MVC project, then create a folder "Web" inside the project, and move all the "web-related" files to inside this folder. The problem is that when creating this folder structure, I cannot simply pres...
How to stop Visual Studio 2008 from automatically running my web services. I have a large Visual Studio 2008 solution that contains a number of web app projects and also several wcf web services.

Hello. I'm not sure what keywords to google for, so i'm gonna ask SO. I have an asp.net website which host a database, wcf dll and silverlight application. I would like to create an .exe file to automatically run an integrated webserver with the application root being the project folder of where my asp.net files are. Basically what I ...
Hello. We have been getting a range on infuriating error dialogs using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 when debugging our solution which is a 38 project solution with a group of Silverlight 3.0 projects. These errors are seemlingly random, but they are getting so frequent that it is a serious productivity problem now: I have been starting to get...
Hi How can I install Visual Studio's Web Development Server (WebDev.WebServer.exe) as a Standlone application? So that our web designers can get the latest code from SVN, then run the MSBuild batch file to build the code, and then run a batch file to start the code using a local copy of the Web Development Server (WebDev.WebServer.exe)...
I'm now developing on Visual Studio 2008 on a 64-bit OS (Windows Server 2008 64-bit). While the apps I write are 64-bit capable, as is IIS7, the built-in ASP.NET Development Server (aka Cassini aka WebDev.Webserver.exe) runs as 32-bit. This brings up a plethora of issues, such as: 32-bit and 64-bit applications have separate HKLM\Sof...
After I've shut down a VS 2008 web project, well, a lot of times, I see many instances of the WebDev icon in the "tooltray" / system notification area: These are no longer active instances; they were shut down by VS. When I mouse over any of these, Windows Vista "conveniently" collapses the tray for me. This makes life miserable if t...
I am trying to feed an error through the HTTP status text (i.e. 500 ). When hosting off WebDev.WebServer.exe it seems to ignore when I set HttpContext.Response.Status beyond the status code. I poked around the code using Reflector and found this: public override void SendStatus(int statusCode, string statusDescription) { this._resp...
Hi, I'd like to set a list of default documents for the VS 2008 webdev server. eg, If I have a folder called "test" with a file "index.htm" in that folder, when I browse to: "http://localhost:1234/test/", I get a 404, instead of index.htm being loaded. I have seen you can configure these documents for IIS 7 within web.config : <sy...

As I was investigating excessive memory usage problems in my ASP.NET application I noticed that the production server seems to use a lot more RAM than my development machine for the exact same input. It turned out to be the difference between IIS (w3wp.exe) and WebDev.WebServer.EXE. I ran the same test on my machine in IIS and WebDev wit...
Hi, I have a clean installation of Windows 7 with VS2010 RTM and am trying to get the ASP.NET Development Server to work. When I run the project, the WebDev server starts and shows that it's listening on port x on localhost. I've tried: telnet to the port. The port is not listening. running netstat -o shows that the WebDev serve...
