Title: VWD Express Web Server
Post by: hismajesty on July 28, 2004, 08:14 PM
The webserver that is included with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Beta that is used for debugging asp.net websites and the like, by default, makes the folder/contents forbidden when somebody outside of localhost trys to access it. I'd like to use this as a regular server, but it's kind of pointless if I can't make the folders contents viewable. Does anybody know how I would do that? If so, please tell me. :)

Edit: Also, is there a way to set a static port? It changes the port every time I restart the program.

It's pretty much Cassini Web Server.

You can download it @ www.asp.net.

You'll probably have to change the project settings to work with ASP.NET 2.0 (specifically, you'll have to get VC# Express 2005) and recompile it for 2.0.  There's a way to not turn away other sites, and Cassini binds to a specific port IIRC.

Or maybe you could get a real server like IIS.  :-P
