Hi,

I tried to create a simple ASP.Net application with VS 2005 standard edition.
The project name is "WebSite1" and it is located at:
D:\projects\WebSite1
The default.aspx is located right under D:\projects\WebSite1\default.aspx

When I clicked "View page from browser" to view the default.aspx, the URL
shows up in the address bar on IE6.0 is:
http://localhost:3457/WebSite1/default.aspx

Would you please tell me how I can change the Home Directory of the
built-in web server in VS 2005 so that I can load the default.aspx directly
like this:
http://localhost:3457/default.aspx

Thank you

Hongbo

In order to set up a root in the way you desire, you have to create a new
website instead of a virtual directory. This means binding to another IP
address (at least in the normal implementation). You then move away from
directory based webs to an IIS implementation. You also have to run against
the norm to set this up.
