Question

I have a WebSite project in Visual Studio 2008 (not a Web Application project!)

How do I set the ASP.NET Development startup port to a static port in a WebSite project?

Answer 1

To specify a port for the ASP.NET Development Server – WebSite / WebServices projects

1. In Solution Explorer, click the name of the application.
2. In the Properties pane, click the down-arrow beside Use
   dynamic ports and select False from
   the dropdown list. This will enable
   editing of the Port number property.
3. In the Properties pane, click the text box beside Port number and type
   in a port number. Click outside of
   the Properties pane.This saves the property settings.
4. Each time you run a file-system
   Web site within Visual Web Developer, the ASP.NET
   Development Server will listen on the specified port.
