Trying To Run Asp.net Application From My ‘favorites’ Folder?

Filed under: Web Development — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 12:48 am

Brand new to web development. Using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition.
Created a small browser application that I will use daily.
I’ve ‘built’ and ‘configured’ the application while Visaul Web Developer is running. I’ve added a link to my ‘Favorites’ that runs the application - http://localhost:3189/MyMeterWebsite/ - but this only works if I run the application in Visual Web Developer.
How can I get the application to run without having to open Visual Web Developer? I don’t want to post it to a live website, I just want to run it from my local computer.
I don’t have IIS.

  1. Some sort of web server software is required for this. If you’re running XP Home, your SOL. If you’re running XP Pro, you can install IIS by going to Add/Remove Programs and selecting Add/Remove Windows Components. If you’ve got Vista, Home Basic is the only one that doesn’t support IIS.
    The app runs from within VWD because it includes a “development web server”. This can only be launched from within the development environment. Also, it only supports a local connection.
