Running the Visual Studio's webserver without Visual Studio
by  Jeff VeatchNo presence information  on 5/1/2007 6:05 PM

Sometimes you just want to run a ASP.NET webpage locally, but really don't need Visual Studio also running.  Like for a functional review or just to run a finished web app.  On those occasions just run the "WebDev.Webserver" on its own.

 

Where is WebDev.Webserver.exe?

In the  .Net framework 2.0 directory.  Usually located here:

 %WINDIR%\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.#.#####

Note: the “#”s represent the version number, and should not be used in the path literally.

 

How to use it.

WebDev.Webserver.exe takes three parameters: the port, the path to the webpage source and optionally the virtual path.

 

WebDev.WebServer /port:<port number> /path:<physical path> [/vpath:<virtual path>]

 

This can be used from command prompt, but a convenient alternative is to simply create a short cut. 

 

When running from a command prompt prefixing your command line with "start /b" will allow the command prompt to return while the sever is running.

Microsoft ASP.Net Cassini

This is more formally called Cassini and has been around for some time now.

There are a bunch of sites out there that have allowed it to run as a service and the following tweak will allow it to process remote requests instead of just local requests (as it is by default)

Great find Jeff!  I've been too preoccupied with other things to even look into this.  This will definitely come in handy when trying to save some memory when running multiple sites in my dev environment.

There is no doubt that I get to experience this all the time. You have to admit that those http://www.doweddingdress.com plus size dress are really stunning and gorgeous that even if you wouldn't wear it or couldn't wear it, but they are still amazing. This is how I'm feeling right now when I am glancing at all the brilliant 1920s inspired http://www.doweddingdress.com/Wedding-Dresses-2011-12008-good.html white dress from Lindsay Fleming! You may wonder how the gowns look like. I need to make clear that this style is not meant for busty but hippy office lady like me. There is no doubt that if the wedding dresses are worn on the right bride, they will definitely bring out the magnificent look. I'm not making jokes when I say all her designs are delicious and consisted of gorgeous stuff such as sandwashed silk crepe, pure silk tulle, silk backed velvet, and other yummy stuff. Further more, with all Lindsay Fleming designs, the bride can make some alterations to this or that detail to go well with her individual tastes.
