How do I keep the development web server (Cassini) running in Visual Studio 2008?

Question

I\'m using Visual Studio 2008 to develop ASP.NET applications. Currently I\'m debugging with running on IIS. I would like to switch to the development web server (Cassini) f

Answer 1

The simplest way I have found to acheive that is by launching the debugger as normal. Then in Visual Studio goto the Debug menu, and select detach all. It detaches from the Cassini web engine, but it does not shut it down, as it does when stopping debugging.

I am quite sure you are know that there is command line swithces that you can you use to launch the cassini engine, but my guess is you are looking for something slightly easier.

Detaching does not close the browser window that visual studio launched, and if you do close that spesific web window then it will stop debugging.

I am running VS 2008 SP1 on Vista 64x SP1 without IIS.
