problems using Visual Studio Development Server with forms authentication

[Andy Fish]

Hi,

My .Net 2.0 app uses forms authentication, so it redirects to the login page
if the user is not logged in. However, if I configure it to use the visual
studio development server, the login page shows without CSS, javascript, and
images being loaded.

I presume this is because the visual studio development server is refusing
to serve these files because the user is not logged in (whereas if I was
using IIS, it would serve the files without even touching .net)

is this just a fundamental limitation of the visual studio development
server or did I miss some kind of project setting?

in web.config, give access to css files and images without login.
