Hello all,
I run and test all of my webapps on IIS, and not ASP .NET Development Server. I see absolutely no reason for ASP .NET Development Server to exist. Unfortunately, VS 2005 disagrees with me and wants to use ASP .NET Development Server whenever possible.
Because of this, every time I create a new project, I have to do the following :
1) Create the site with the Location field set to "File System"
2) Go into IIS, hit "Properties" for the directory, go to the "Directory" tab, and hit "Create" under "Application Settings."
3) In VS, open the "Properties" window for my project, select "Custom Server" under "Start Options", and enter in the url of my application (usually
If I just create the site with the Location set to "HTTP," and then go into the "Properties" window for my project, it doesn't even give me the option to specify a "Custom Server." It just defaults to the ASP .NET Development Server. Very frustrating!
This is especially annoying when I download a project from the web or from one of my co-workers. In this case, I'll open up the site in VS, open the "Properties" window for the project, and find that it doesn't give me the option to specify a "Custom Server." My only option is to use the ASP .NET Development Server or else recreate the project from scratch. Very frustrating!
Anyway, what I would like is to do away with the ASP .NET Development Server for once and for all. I don't want to hear another peep out of it as long as I live. I want all of my projects to default to using IIS, and I want them to stay that way.
Any suggestions?
