local machine
I have a issue where a company running on the server doesn't show the Drag and drop option in a form, When I run the same company on a local win 10 machine with localhost it runs and i have the drag and drop feature available. Kindly help, how can Iserver fix this?
After several tries of getting down to what could be the issue turns out the problem was the drag and drop add-in I was using at the beginning was only supporting http that's why when I tested it on local machine it show the drag and drop feature but with HTTPS it wasn't working.
Had to create a new add-in to support HTTPs and that solved the issue.

I am using VS2015 and I am trying to run a website application, but every time I run the project I can't load the IISExpress because it says that the port 80 is in use, I run the Tcpview.exe from SysInternals to see who was using the port, but seems not to be in use. I found some related threads saying that can be a problem with the antivirus, I am using Symantec.
Here are the properties of the project, as you can see I tried to change the port manually, but it didn't worked
See the picture below
It is something weird, if the website is inside a solution, seems that it doesn't load correctly the application and all the time the port is ins use. I solved it using this approach

I just loaded directly using the Visual Studio Option-> Open-> Website and removing the entries from that the post below advice
In Visual Studio 2010 SP1, automatic outlining is not enabled for ASPX files when I open them. For each file opened, I need to click Edit / Outlining / Start automatic outlining, which is extremely annoying. This step is not necessary when code-only (non-ASPX) files are opened.
I use a few extensions, all of them from MS, including Power Tools, the JavaScript tools, etc., and I thought that maybe they were causing the problem, so I disabled all of them and restarted VS, but the problem still exists.
I did not have this problem with VS2010 (no SP) on Win XP Pro, which I used for about 18 months, but I recently did a clean install of Win 7 x64, VS2010, and VS2010 SP1, and now I have this issue.
Any ideas?
This worked for me:
In the registry, look here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\HTML Editor
for a value named OutlineHTMLOnFileOpen. Mine was set to 0, change it to 1. Make sure you do this while VS is closed, as it saves this value out on exit and will change it back.
I had this issue and it was driving me crazy all week!!
Finally managed to fix it really easy:
Make sure the registry value for OutlineHTMLOnFileOpen is set to: -1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\HTML Editor
OutlineHTMLOnFileOpen = -1
Open VS then open an aspx file.
Press CTRL M then M again while keeping the CTRL key depressed.
Press Ctrl+ M M
Wait a few moments and the automatic outlining engine will start.
Restart VS and it should auto kick in again when you open a file.
I had the same problem and went through and disabled my extensions. Once I disabled the Javascript Addins from Microsoft (That give the outlining and brace matching), I found I was able to change the registry setting and it didn't set change back. I'm going to reinstal the addin to see if it was the actual cause.
I posted the same question at the MS forums, and was told to do the following, which I have not yet had time to try, but I thought I would add it here for now:
Please try to create two new project (one is the same type project as
your previous project, one is another type project.) see whether this
issue still exists.
If this issue still exists, you can try the following solutions:
If we reboot the operating system to safe mode, do we have the
problem? This can help to isolate whether any other applications are
interfering with Visual Studio. Note that some features (like IIS) are
not available under safe mode. Please check whether this can apply or
not. In addition to safe mode, we can also suggest “clean boot”:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 .
If we create a new user account, do we have the problem? This can
help to isolate user profile corruption related causes.
If we use “devenv.exe /resetsettings”, does it solve the problem?
It restores Visual Studio default settings.
If the problem remains, we can use Visual Studio Setup Wizard (via
Control Panel) to repair Visual Studio. It can restore the Visual
Studio Installation into its original state.
The forum thread is here.
I will provide my results if I make progress.
Using Ctrl + M should toggle this if you're focused on the file having trouble. I had the same problem until I realized had been accidentally using the hot keys to turn this on and off.
I am attempting to run a web project in vs2008, however it just hangs before launching the ASP.NET development server.
The vertical scroll bar in the solution explorer starts moving up as if lots of new items are appearing (like when the script documents node is filled) and then moves back to the bottom and then moves up again.
I can run the project if I right click on an aspx page and 'View in Browser'.
Anyone had a similar issue?
Thanks
There are few weird bugs comes free with each edition of VS. Dont worry about that. Instead directly running from Development Server, use local IIS hosting. Sometimes because of CSS issues, gets embeded when you switch betch Design and Source windows. Still MS is fixing those bugs. But I can suggest, go your own way...
When you run an application from within visual studio, it seems to pick a random port on localhost. For example, running an application right now, I get
http://localhost:3240/ApplicationStuffHere
I realize this port gets loaded into the solution file, via
VWDPort = "3240"
How does this get decided on? it seems fairly random.
By default, ASP.NET Web Application Projects are configured to launch and run using the built-in VS Web Server (aka Cassini) on a random HTTP port on the machine.
This port number can be changed if this port is already in use, or if you want to specifically test and run using a different number:

I know this is a little bit old, but I was wondering the same thing. I eventually found the answer for VS2005, but figured I'd share it with the stack overflow community.
Open your project
Click (not right click) on the name of the project in the solution explorer (that top, bolded line)
Hit f4 - this will bring up a properties panel
Change "Use dynamic ports" to False
Optionally change the Port number to whatever port you want to use
And you're done.
This port number is initially assigned randomly, but Visual Studio will try to use that same port number every time the application starts.
Check out the Properties of your web application in solution explorer (Right click > Properties)
The web tab is the one you are looking for.
Kindness,
Dan
Related to a previous issue that I thought was resolved and actually isn't...
My Visual Studio 2008 installation may be a bit messed up, I think.
When my ASP.NET project is set up to use VS Dev Server with a fixed port, I get the "Port in use" error described in the linked question.
When my project is set up to use a random (auto-assigned) port number, it works, but it launches the browser using a port number 3 less than the actual Dev Server port number (e.g. if the port number is 1903, the browser launches to http://localhost:1900/)
If I make changes to the project settings, they do not "take" until I save and restart Visual Studio.
Any ideas how to track this one down?
Thanks!
I had a similar problem which hit my 2 main machines at the same time. On investigating I found it to be related to the Eset personal security (guessing a recent update messed something up). To solve it I excluded VS2008 from the active browser filtering - this is in:
setup -> advanced firewall setup -> antivirus & anti spyware -> web access protection -> HTTP -> webbrowsers
Deselecting vsdev in here fixed the problem - interestingly enough disabling the firewall and antivirus / antispyware did not solve the issue, so it is worth looking for a similar setting if you are running different security software
First try to kill all "WebDev.WebServer.exe" processes.
In Solution Explorer, click the name of the application.
In the Properties pane, click the down-arrow beside Use dynamic ports and select False from the dropdown list.This will enable editing of the Port number property.
In the Properties pane, click the text box beside Port number and type in a port number.
Click outside of the Properties pane. This saves the property settings.
Hope this helps
I do absolutely agree with Macros' answer. Just want to share solution for Eset Nod32 v5
In ESET NOD32 v5 to allow Visual Studio to run Development or IIS Express server you must uncheck Visual Studio in Nod32 Advanced Setup => Web and Email => Protocol filtering => Web and email clients
Weird!
The port number is stored in the .sln file. So, I'd blow that away the solution file first, re-create it and see what happens. If that doesn't help, I'd then move onto the web.config file and blow that away and start again too.
I also encountered the same error message:
Unable to launch Visual Studio development server because port [xxxx] is in use.
However, I do not have ESET installed. Instead, I had recently installed GlassFish server on my machine and that was causing the problem. Therefore, in Windows Task Manager, I killed the process it runs under which is java.exe and it fixed the problem.
This also applies to Visual Studio 2010.
And there is more to it.
Symptoms:
A Web (Services) project is configured to run at a specific port, e.g. 10080.
After a while Visual Studio compains “Unable to launch the Visual Studio Development Server because port ’10080′ is in use”
The reason is still unclear. It might have something to do with the webdev server crashing.
Restarting the pc doesn't solve the problem.
Netstat doen’t show an entry for the port 10080
Manually startin WebDev.WebServer40.exe at port 10080 works fine.
Since I'd like to start from within Visual Studio, I moved to port 10081, then to 10082, and today to 10083. I’m running out of ports.
Solutions that did not work:
Restart Visual Studio
Tweaking Trendmicro security settings (couldn't access them)
Disabling Forticlient antivirus/firewall
Workaround that DOES work:
Configuring my project to manually start the server
Right click the project, choose properties
Click the tab "Web"
Pick for start action "Start external program" and point it to Webdev.Webserver40.EXE
(for me: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\10.0\WebDev.WebServer40.EXE)
Command line arguments: /port:10080 /path:C:\Solution\Project
Working directory: C:\Solution\Project
Under servers check "Use Custom Web Server"
Do not check any debugger checkbox
Side effect: my project thinks break points are not getting hit. ("no symbols loaded"). Turns out they work like they should.
I hope anybody ever finds a definitive solution, but up until then this workaround does the trick for me.
To solve your problem, just restart your PC. I've had the same problem, I did the same thing.
