You can host the web application on your local machine.. yes, you will need to set up IIS and configure it to do so. Then you would publish the web application to IIS.
You can google how to set up IIS on Windows 7 or whatever operating system you have.
This link will help as well.

I have a very silly question, Can I create a Folder in Client machine from a web application. I have tried to do that.
But I am unable to do so. I have created an asp.net web application using visual studio IDE. And when I executed the web application using visual studio the folder is created.
After that I hosted the web application in IIS and the tried to access the web application. The web application was accessed successfully but the folder was not created on the client machine.
Could you please suggest me the ways of how to do it.
Thanks.
ASP.NET is a framework for creating web sites. The application using ASP.NET is deployed to a web server, for instance IIS. When ASP code behind of aspx/ascx files or C# code of external components is called it's executed on the web server (IIS).
I assume you have implemented the code for creating a folder with C# code. This code is, as I said, executed on server. On your development machine you have client (which is web browser) and server (whis is IIS) on the same machine. So the folder was created.
When you have deployed the application to a separate web server then you separated web server from client. I think your IIS hosted application has created a folder on the machine where IIS were installed. Not on your local machine.
If you want to create a folder on client side you shouldn't use C# ASP.NET code.
You should do some research how to achieve it in other technology. Here's some link for it - How to Create a New Folder for Downloading a File
I have developed a ASP.Net MVC 4 application with Visual Web Developer Express 2010. It was successfully published/deployed to a remote server A (development server) using the Web Developer's built-in publishing tool and it works perfectly on it IIS 7.0 with the web deployment component.
Now I want to deploy it to another remote server B (production server). This one sits in an isolated environment and does not have Internet access! Even if server B is a replica of server A, its IIS 7.0 does not have the web deployment tool component installed. So the built-in publishing tool does not work for the web deployment option.
I then tried to publish it using the File System option. I copied the exported files to a new folder on IIS on server B. The folder was configured the same way as its counterpart on server A. I tried the URL on server B and it just gave me directory/files listing on the browser instead of the welcome page of the application.
Has anybody got the experience or tips to solve the issue? Thanks.
Cheers,
Alex
edit:
because it a MVC site, the default document doesn't apply. check the following steps:
IIS Extension Less URLs are enabled and allowed.
ASP.NET 4.0 is installed and registered. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version> and then aspnet_regiis -i (this will typically force IIS to use the MVC infrastructure instead of using the default document methodology)
Ensure App Pool is in 4.0 Integrated mode.
Ensue that the IIS Advanced Settings for the website are showing the right root folder path.
I have an asp.net mvc 4 web application , and I use the visual studio publish feature, to publish my web application to the localhost iis. But currently if I type the web application URL it will not work unless I open the VS and run the application. so can anyone adive how I can publish my web application on IIS so users can access the web application event if the VS is not running .
Thanks
Publishing a website to your Inetpub\wwwroot is not recommended on a standard computer, you will need to host your application on a server. Windows server has no limit on the amount of connections allowed to your webpage, whereas your computer can only handle a maximum of 10 connections.
if you want your solution to work outside of VS but still on your computer, you will have to create a virtual directory within IIS or within VS (then VS will do it in IIS for you).
Right click on your project, go to the "web" tab, there is an option there to host it within IIS and a button that creates the virtual directory for you.
Also check that you then have an application pool set up and running the correct version of .NET (depending on the framework you created the application in)
As per my understanding Visual Studio has a default Deployment Server for ASP.net sites, what should be done if i need to access this site on intranet.
I created a web site in Visual Studio 2010 using asp.net and vb this works fine on localhost but if another friend of mine tries to access it from his pc (he is in the same netwrk) he gets access denied error.
Queries -
should there be a external server whr i should host this site
which is bttr IIS or apache or mono or something....
is there any other way pf remotely accessing this site
You have two options.
Set up IIS on your computer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBNoTK31zPo
You can set up a virtual directory that points to your project folder.
Use a proxy if you don't want to or can't set up IIS. Remote machines cannot connect to Visual Studio web server
I have built an ASP.NET MVC 3 web application (with exlusively Razor/cshtml pages) that runs fine on my local machine with IIS Express. Now I'm trying to publish it to a remote server that is running Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6 and has just been upgraded to .NET Framework 4.0.
I was able to successfully publish all the files to the proper directory on the remote server using Visual Studio 2010's Publish dialog (Publish method: FTP), and I've followed the instructions for including all the DLLs needed to run ASP.NET MVC on a machine that doesn't have it installed, but now I'm pretty much stuck.
The first issue is that I don't have access to the remote server's IIS. I may be able to get the hosting company to add a virtual directory or change a setting, but I'm not sure they know what they're doing, and at the moment, I wouldn't know what to tell them anyway.
The second issue is that I need my web app to live inside an existing site (the web app is basically a protected members area of the main website). So, pretend the main site is http://www.foobar.com. I'd like my web app to be accessed by entering the URL http://www.foobar.com/members.
Questions
Is it possible to publish my web app without access to the remote server's IIS?
If not, what exactly do I need to tell the hosting company to add or change in IIS?
Do the settings under the Web tab of project properties affect publishing or just local debugging? At the moment, I have it set to use IIS Express, and the Project URL is "http://localhost:7373/". Do I need to change these?
Given that the remote server is running Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0, is it possible to use Web Deploy or am I limited to FTP?
If I can use Web Deploy, what do I put for the Service URL? All I have right now is a URL in the format of ftp://www.foobar.com/www and a username and password.
If I need to use FTP, what steps do I need to take to get the app working once the necessary files have been uploaded to ftp://www.foobar.com/www/members? I'm not worried about database, security certificates, registry, GAC, etc., I just want to know the steps necessary to get the home page of my web app to come up when I put http://www.foobar.com/members.
Have you had a look at this article by Scott Hanselman?
In addition to that article, please read the following thread on StackOverflow on pretty much the same environment as yourself.
Edit
Your first step should be to get the hosting company to set up the virtual directory with the following parameters (IIS 6):
ASP.NET Version: 4.0.30319 (or later)
Local Path: [root ftp path for main website]\Members
[ ] Script source access (unchecked)
[x] Read (checked)
[ ] Write (unchecked)
[ ] Directory browsing (unchecked)
[x] Log Visits (checked)
[x] Index this resource (checked)
Application Name: Members
Execute Permissions: Scripts only
Application Pool: ASP.NET 2.0
