Test ASP.NET on local server

How could I test ASPX.NET web application in a local server? What do I need to install? Sorry guys, just a newbie. I've been done some searches also but I always failed. I've encountered a what so called IIS Server but, I can't barely get it. Hope someone could help me. Thanks!

try to write in Run... option(click Start/Run...) inetmgr this command (If you have IIS Express or full version of IIS) will show you IIS server manager.

In manager you will see at right column name of your computer click plus sign on the left. Then Right click Sites and choose Add Web Site...

You will need to write name of website, provide path to your project (folder which contains web.config), and change port

after this you need to check Application pool (it's name will be same that your website) for your website and if you use .NET Framework version 4 you will need to change (default version of framework is 2.0)

Edit: Next step to test app on IIS (with debug functionality) is:

  • right click on project solution in Visual Studio (Solution navigator) and choose properties
  • choose Web bookmark on the left side
  • in section Servers check radiobutton near Use Local IIS Web Server
  • in textBox below with (Project Url:) write `http:/localhost: port which you wrote in IIS when creating website

and That's all you need to do :) From now you can Test your project localy on IIS:)

Hope this will help:)

Like for PHP you need something on your machine to serve PHP pages, e.g WAMP server, similarly you have to set up the machine to serve asp.net pages. As WAMP for PHP, install IIS for ASP.NET. You need to check some MSDN on web deployment. Here is a good place to start.

As other said, IIS is part of the operating system (either in Windows server OS, or professional edition of Windows XP/Vista/7).

You can also fall back to IIS express which allows you to run apps locally, with the logged user's identity.

This will be enough to run any asp.net web apps (with limitations like number of simultaneous connections, ...).

the IIS server installation comes with windows installation. You can not get it separately. It is a part of windows server installation. You can install it from add/remove windows components section of control panel.

Further, there are many other web servers that can be used for it. e.g. cassini web server (which is also available with visual studio)

You don't need server application IIS if you want test on local, you have Cassini server , if you use Framework 2.0 or more, he is installed on your runtime by defaut
