A foreigner asked me how to set up a web project of vs.net 2005 to use the local IIS. I gave an answer in a poor English and it may be a reference for everyone.
1. Right click your web application root folder, on the context menu, click "properties ";
2. on the "Web share" tab, "Select Share" folder, accept the deault settings to make your web application as a virtual direcotry;
3. Click Startup => Run, type in "inetmgr", open the "Internet Information Service ";
4. Right click on the virtual directory you built just now under "default website", select "properties ";
5. On the "ASP. NET" tab, select "2. 0. *****" for ASP. NET version;
6. Open your web application project with vs.net 2005;
7. Right click the web application project (not solution), select "property pages ";
8. Select "Start options" in left tree;
9. In the server section, select "use M server", the "base URL" will appear automatically, accept it;
10. Be sure to click "OK" to save the change.
Note: Cause I using a simple Chinese version of Windows 2003 Server wirte down this step by step instruction, maybe some command names or tab names are not the same as your English version, but I think you can find these settiings esaily as a smart developer you are.
