My problem i sthat i have created a web application in visual studio 2008 professional edition but when i run it i have to change the specified port every time otherwise it is not woking properly i have also tried to use the assign automatic port option but the result is same. How can i make the setting to use the visual studio internal server without changing the port number every time.
You can fix the port the Visual Studio server uses in the Web tab of the project properties screen:

Alternatively, if you have it installed, you could change the project to use the local IIS server, which would mean you could use a path like http://localhost/MyProject/default.aspx to get to your project - no knowledge required of what port it's running on.

I am using VS2012, .NET 4.5. I just downloaded NuGetGalary from github and trying to build and run the Web application of it.
I am using IIS Express with project Url http://localhost:8081
But when I launch the project, I get the following error message
What could be wrong ?
Silly reason,
I used this Microsoft Support Article to find out what was wrong. Turned out it was VMWare Workstation Server service holding up the 443 port. I stopped the service and now project launches fine.
Since I can't add comments yet, I put my thoughts here.
Since you launch the site on "localhost:8081", and it can't be launched because of port 443 being used, it's probably that inside the solution, some service is started, and by default is running on 443.
Your solution consisted of stopping the app "VMWare Workstation Server" which seemed to be using the same port. This might not always be possible, depending the type of app using the port.
What you could also have done (maybe), is configuring the project/service (inside Visual Studio) to use another port than 443.
You can usually find this element in the project properties.
I have an ASP.NET project managed in the VS 2010 IDE. I constantly copy it from one development machine to another. By its nature this ASP.NET project must run on an actual IIS. One development machine has a local IIS configured but I couldn't set it up on a second machine. The project is set up to Use local IIS in its properties. The issue happens when I try to copy this project from a machine with the local IIS to the one that does not have it. When I load it up in VS 2010 the only thing I get in the "Solution Explorer" is <SolutionName> (Unavailable) and I can't do anything, even open up its properties. The only way to fix this is to go back to the first machine and set up this project to Use Visual Studio Development Server and then copy it.
Is there any way to do this on the destination machine without this route of going back to the first computer?
I've been trying to fix this for quite some time now, but I simply can't make any ASP.NET projects in Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. I get this error when I start a new project:
Web application projects are currently configured to use IIS Express. To switch back to using the Visual Studio Development Server, change the development server option under the Projects and Solutions/Web Projects Category of the Options menu. Configured IIS Express failed with the following error:
Filename: redirect.config
Error: Cannot read Configuration file.
So I went on the internet to try and find others with the same error but I can't find a concrete solution to my problem. I find something similar for older versions, but it doesn't fix my problem. I do have the IIS Manager up under my Services (When you want to Manage Windows). I even made a virtual folder, but to no avail. Still doesn't work.
I want to use IIS
How do I fix this?
In Solution Explorer, right-click the name of the Web application project for which you want to specify a Web server, and then click Properties
In the Properties window, click the Web tab.
To choose the Visual Studio Development Server, under Servers, click Use Visual Studio Development Server.
To use a specific port number with the Visual Studio Development Server, select Specific port and enter the port number. By default, the Auto-assign Port option is selected, and the port number that has been assigned to your application appears
To choose IIS, under Servers, select Local IIS Web server. This option is not available if IIS is not enabled on your computer. A URL that combines localhost with the name of your Web application will automatically be created for you and appear in the Project URL box (for example, l ocalhost/WebApplication1).
To choose IIS, under Servers, select Local IIS Web server. This option is not available if IIS is not enabled on your computer. A URL that combines localhost with the name of your Web application will automatically be created for you and appear in the Project URL box (for example, loca lhost/WebApplication1).
To choose a custom Web server, select Use Custom Web Server. In the Server URL box, type the URL that Visual Studio should start when it runs the current project.
You may for example open you project file in notepad search for the string <useiisexpress>true</useiisexpress> replace it with the string <UseIIS>True</UseIIS> save and reload the project.
Make a copy of the project file first though.
Suppose I have a class library cl1 and a unit test for it that is called clt1. I can use Visual Studio's Attach to Process feature to attach to NUnit runner. This lets me debug cl1, for example set break points. It's a very helpful feature for debugging.
I'm in a need of this technique in Visual Studio and IE/FF. Suppose I have a web application that utilizes cl1. This application is running via ASP.NET Web Development Server or IIS. I want to debug (set break points) in cl1. How can I do this?
Please notice that it's not possible through Visual Studio itself. Because something in markup is calling cl1 classes and I can't set a break point in ASP.NET markup. I'm running Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.
UPDATE:
cl1 is running as server side
As your code is running server-side, you need to attach the debugger to the server (IIS, or dev server, whichever you are running).
What I normally do is set my breakpoint, browse to the site (in order to ensure that the site is running and has been "warmed up") then Debug -> Attach and find the process running the web server to attach to. I then browse to where my code will be run and go through the steps to execute it.
If IIS is running on a different server, you can do remote debugging.
I guess the class library you are referring to contains c#/vb.net code (server side) so as the code is executed by the server you will need to attach to the webserver itself. If the web site is hosted at another machine you can use VS remote debugger to attach to IIS.
Your library will be running inside the ASP.Net app pool. On IIS7 you should attach to w3wp.exe. Older versions of IIS may use aspnet_wp.exe instead.
I have installed Visual Studio .NET 2005. But when I am trying to execute an asp.net application then I am getting the following error:
Unable to open the Web 'http://localhost/adiii'. Could not find a Web server at 'localhost' on port 80. Please check to make sure that the Web server name is valid and your proxy settings are set correctly. If you are sure that everything is correct, the Web server may be temporarily out of service.

Can anyone please tell me the solution of this problem. As we know there is embedded Web deployment server inside VS2005 then why its giving me this error??
It looks like when you created the project, you selected HTTP for the location instead of the default, File System. HTTP means you have an existing web server (not Visual Studio) that you want to run and test your project on (and where Visual Studio will attempt to find your source code).
Create a project and select File System to create a project on your harddrive that will be run using Visual Studio's internal web server (you can then publish/deploy the project to a real web server when you want)
Are you explicitly have defined that the internal web server should run the application on port 80?
The default behavior is that it runs on a random port.
If your settings are ok, then it might be a port conflict with another web server on your machine (Apache, IIS).
Sometimes even a Skype can okuppy port 80 and cause similar problems.
Update:
Now i see - you're using Web Site project, and we assumed you're working with Web App project instead.
In this case, the procedure is slightly different:
You select the project in Solution Explorer and open Property Pane. Here you should be able to identify two properties for the project: Port number and Use dynamic ports. I assume your first property is set to 80, and second one to false. Change the second one to true and you should be able to fix the problem.
There's a very good chance that you created the project in VS2003 and upgraded it to VS2005. VS2003 uses HTTP (a local installation of IIS for example), whereas VS2005 projects use the built-in server -- most likely, the upgraded project is still trying to use the local IIS which doesn't exist.
Do this: Right click on your project, choose "properties", and navigate to the "Web" tab on the window which pops up. You'll get a screen which allows you to choose which server you want to develop on, then make sure the buttons next to "Use Visual Studio Development Server" and "Auto-assign port" are checked.
Here's a visual reference if you need one:

You should be be good to go now.
Visual Studio does have an embedded web server, but it never operates on port 80. Your URL clearly points to port 80.
The most likely problem is your program itself working inappropriately, but without code I can't help much more.
