cassini

Basically, the question in the title - how can I / is it possible to determine that Cassini is what's running my app versus IIS? Basically I want my code to know that it's debugging, so if I'm missing something easier here, please point it out. return AppDomain.CurrentDomain .GetAssemblies() .Any( a => a.FullName.StartsWith("WebDev.WebHost") ); You can look at the port. Casini always runs on a random high port. IIS will usually be 80 or 443 unless you've configured it differently. If your goal is solely to determine whether you are debugging (in which case the build configuration will probably

I'm a little confused about something. I am using Visual Studio 2010 and am a little unsure whether VS 2010 uses IIS Express or Cassini when running web applications. What is the difference? Thanks, Sachin VS 2010 SP1 supports both IIS Express and Cassini (VS 2010 supports only cassini). You can configure your project to use IIS Express or Cassini. By default VS 2010 SP1 uses Cassini and to change right click on your web site/web application and select "use iis express". (When IIS Express used you would find a IIS Express tray icon and there you can see all the running sites) I think this

How can automatically I stop the development web server when I stop debugging in Visual Studio? Justin There is no way to get the Asp.Net development service to automatically stop when you hit the "stop debugging" button, as all that does is detach the debugger. You could however explicitly kill the process yourself (which would in turn cause VS to stop debugging). This question shows how you might do this in a Macro: Automatically stop/restart ASP.NET Development Server on Build Alternatively take a look at mat3's answer on how you can force the development server to restart every time you

I am using an HttpModule to do some URL shortening on my site. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and IIS 7, and .Net 3.5. When the module is specified in the system.webServer element of web.config, and the site is run in IIS, it works fine. The config looks like this: <system.webServer> <modules> <add name="MinimizeModule" type="ClipperHouse.UrlMinimizer.MinimizeModule" /> </modules>... My module attaches to the BeginRequest event, everything works. However, I can't get it to run using the built-in VS web server (Cassini). I tried moving the module config to the system.web element in web.config,

Consider an ASP.NET MVC 2 project with VS 2010. The goal is to set the 'start URL' on run/debug using VS's built-in Cassini web server. Entering the URL as I want to be loaded, in the typical & valid format, controller/action , VS 2010 gives this exception. Tried Remedies: starting the URL with and without a slash ending the URL with and without a slash Question: How can you specify the start URL for an MVC 2 project? Technologies: Visual Studio 2010 ASP.NET MVC 2 Resolution: I was using the wrong field in the startup options. What was needed was the " Specific Page " field with the relative
