ASP.NET Development Server as standalone ?

Sometimes, I need to transfer my development site .aspx files to another
machine in another city where I only have notepad and .NET 3.5. How can I use
the ASP.NET Development Web Server outside Visual Studio, to test my site on
the other PC?

In your PC, look in : "Drive:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 "
for WebDev.WebServer.exe ...and copy it to the other machine.

There's also a WebDev.WebServer.exe.manifest file in that directory.
I'm not sure whether it's an essential file.

The command-line syntax for launching the Dev Server is :
WebDeb.WebServer /port:<port number/path:<physical path[/vpath:<virtual path>]

I've never been able to get the [/vpath:<virtual path>] parameter to work,
so you could try to do without it ( running the app in the root space ).

For example, you could launch the webserver using the following syntax:

start /B webdev.webserver.exe /port:80 /path:"c:\directorypathtoyourwebfiles"

Or...you could install VWD 2008, and run/test/modify the project in it.

VWD 2008 installs the ASP.NET Development Web Server
....and you will have the plus of being able to edit the files.
