Hi
I have just installed Visual Studio 2005, and ported a 2003 Web
Application to VS 2005. I noticed that I can choose to debug my
application using either the IIS Web Server or the Visual Studion
Development Server (VSDS)
- Are there any advantages in using the VSDS
You don't have to install IIS. That is pretty much it.
It is also a bit easier, as you do not have to type in
http://localhost/{SiteName} when you create a site, as it can go on the
default directory.
BTW, you can work with both at the same time. Create a file based web site
in one instance of VS. Then, open Windows Explorer, right click the
directory and go to the web sharing tab and share it. Now, open a website
via http://localhost/{SiteName} in another instance. Same site, two ways.
Would I do the above in real life? Only to illustrate that it can be done.
I, personally, do everything in IIS. Not quite true. When speaking, I will
sometimes create a file based web, as I can share it easier (primarily
zipping it up without having it under Inetpub). As I can switch it to IIS at
any time, it is not an issue.
- Where can I find anything about that on the internet. I have
searched the whole internet for documents that compare both, but I
found nothing.
Not sure. If you want to see how it works, or at least how a previous
incarnation worked, look up Cassini. You can download it from here:
http://www.asp.net/downloads/archived/cassini/
Cassini was the original file based server for ASP.NET before it was
included with VS.
