Unable to connect to ASP.Net Development Server issue

Question

I am debugging codeplex simple project. I am using

• VSTS 2008
• C#
• Windows Vista x86 Enterprise.

I have not modified any code

Answer 1

Here are the steps

1. 'Website' Menu in your visual studio ide.
2. select 'Start Options'
3. enable 'Use Custom Server' radio button.
4. Enter any URL you desire similar to 'http://localhost:8010/MyApp'

Note1: you can use any port number not only '8010' but not designated port numbers like 8080(tcpip),25(smtp),21(ftp) etc.,

Note2: you can use any name not only 'MyApp'

This solution works for sure unless your WebDev.Webserver.exe is physically corrupted.
