Starting IIS Express from command line asp.net mvc 3 project (build with VS2012)

I have an asp.net mvc 3 project I created in visual studio 2012. I would like to run the dev server from the command line rather than the IDE (usually clicking on the green play/triangle button).

My goal is to run the local web server without having to open visual studio. Any ideas?

Start your project from Visual Studio. Open Sysinternals Process Explorer and navigate to your iisexpress instance. In properties - Image Tab - Command Line you get a hint of how you can call it.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe"  /config:"C:\Users\YourProfile\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config"  /site:"MvcApplication1(1)" /apppool:"Clr4IntegratedAppPool"

applicationhost.config will have your site in the history.
