Greetings. So I ran into a bit of an annoying challenge today. For months now, I've had IIS installed locally. I work on my local project/sln's, and save them - then update to our source control server  Everyone was happy for awhile there.  Anyway, I guess security made some modifications to our AD Security Policy, so if I try to reach http://localhost/Projects/Whatever I'm pretty much out of luck.  In any case, you can subvert this in VS.NET by modifying your .CSPROJ file.

<WebProjectProperties>
          <UseIIS>False</UseIIS>
          <AutoAssignPort>True</AutoAssignPort>
          <DevelopmentServerPort>1899</DevelopmentServerPort>
          <DevelopmentServerVPath>/</DevelopmentServerVPath>
          <IISUrl></IISUrl>
          <NTLMAuthentication>False</NTLMAuthentication>
</WebProjectProperties>

All I did was change the UseIIS from False to True - and then add the URL I'd prefer to use in IISUrl.  Pretty straightforward, me thinks. I'm not sure if there is a menu within VS.NET 2k5 to do this w/o editing the XML here - If there is, I certainly haven't found it.  Let me know if you can shed some light on this.

Cheers.
