File system websites

[bhuvanabh]

Hi,

In http project, I can able to view the webpage link by providing m/c
name instead of localhost(http://mymachinename/sample.aspx), but in
filesystem project why I couldn't browse the page with the machine
name? Can anyone suggest me how to browse it using m/c name instead of
the localhostortnumber.

ASP.Net pages must be served by an HTTP server, so you can't do that.

Filesystem type of project using built-in web server which runs on separate
port than standard IIS.
So to access is using machine name you must specify the port number.

Start it from VS and you will see in the browser
http://localhost:4534/mypage.aspx
4534 is made up and you will have different port number

For standalone browsing, you can launch
the Development Server from the command line.

Its parameters are :

/path:
/port:and
/vpath:

Example :
driveathto\WebDev.WebServer.EXE /pathrive:\dir\subdir /port:8001 /vpath:/test

That should bring up the Dev Server on port 8001 and the virtual directory /test.
This assumes that you have a file named default.aspx at Drive:\dir\subdir

If you want to use your machine's name, you'll need to run IIS or a web server like Cassiniv2.

You also need the v2.0 version of GACUTIL which is installed with VWD Express,
VS 2005 and the .Net Framework 2.0 SDK, in order to compile Cassiniv2.

Make sure you read the "ReadMe.txt" file included in the zipped source.
