Thanks. &nbsp;My issue is that when I go to visual studio, I don't get to pick the folder to deploy the code to. &nbsp;I only have an option for a url which is defaulted to <a href="http://localhost/myprogram.web" rel="ugc">http://localhost/myprogram.web</a>&nbsp;which myprogram.web is my project name.<br />
<br />
I added an entry to myprogram in my hosts file and can get to an error page by going there. &nbsp;I believe that is because there is no code. &nbsp;I am not sure how to config vs.

Hi,<br />
I have been working with visual studio's dev iis server to test some code. &nbsp;I just added the iis feature on my win 7 machine. &nbsp;Can someone please give me detailed instructions on how to create the website (do I do this from iis or from visual studio properties), which app pool to use, and how to give that permissions to my file system. &nbsp;I tried a few different things and ran into issues. Instead of trying to fix my mistakes, I want to start over from scratch.<br />

Thanks

IIS on windows 7 - how do you configure for visual studio

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
