Hi,

I have a question, if I have Visual Studio.Net, Can I run the ASP file directly in the Visual Studio.Net application without install IIS?

Thanks.

If you are talking about VS.NET 2003, I don't know of a built-in server...VWD 2005 Express (free version) has a built-in web server emulator.

I take it your limitation is that you have WinXP Home? Regardless of what MS says, you CAN run IIS on WinXP Home...it's just not a straight-forward process. I have IIS running on my Sony Vaio with WinXP Home...it's been a while, not sure if I could repeat the process w/o re-doing all the research.

I have VWD 2005 expression version on my lap top and it won't let my run my programs. I tells me it is missing a file. I think it has something to do with IIS. I don't know. I have XP Home edition and someone told me to install IIS, but fromm the sounds of it, it sounds like an ordeal. I'll research tonight and see what I come up with. If not, I call upon y'all.. *sweet smile* :D

Have you taken a look at the ASP Server thread?

install IIS isnt hard, its simply going to add/remove components in control panel add/remove programs, select IIS, frontpage ext etc and there you go (put in CD).

It can be that easy if you have Windows XP Professional Edition. If you have Windows XP Home Edition it is a little more tricky. http://adamv.com/dev/articles/iis-on-xp-home
