develop VB.NET web application on Windows XP

[Ping]

Hi, dear

I'm going to create a VB.NET web application using
VB.NET, but I always got following error message:

The default Web access mode for this project is set to
file share, but the project folder at
'http://localhost/WebAppication1' cannot be opened with
the path '\\computer_name\wwwroot$\WebApplication1'. The
error returned was:

Unable to create Web project 'WebApplication1'. The UNC
share '\\computer_name\wwwroot$\WebApplication1' does not
exist or you do not have access.

I don't know how to fix it.

BTW, I use windows XP home edition and no IIS server on
this machine.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Here's your problem right here:

BTW, I use windows XP home edition and no IIS server on
this machine.

You need a web server capable of running ASP.NET in order to develop/run
ASP.NET applications. XP Home doesn't come with IIS. There are other .NET
enabled web servers out there. Try a Google search.

There are .net webserver one is Cassini and the otherone is comes with
WebMatrix. Both can be obtained from http://www.asp.net

Hope it works for you!
