Hello. I have problem with root host name. When I create some new site
(for example, testsite1) and run this I will get URL like this

http://localhost:1954/testsite1/somepage.aspx

How I can remove this "testsite1" in URL? I need have

http://localhost:1954/somepage.aspx

This prefix doesn't have any sense becuase next site which I will run will
have other
work port, (http://localhost:1955/testsite1) So why it exist at all?

because you are using the VS includes WebServer and not IIS, and that will
create programatically a new Virtual Directory
with the name of your project, the port is given randomly so will not cause
any problem in an existing WebServer inviroment

to avoid this you need to use IIS itself and configure the default Web Root
to point to your directory!

If you have installed Visual Studio 2005 SP1, it's real easy.

See this blog entry by Scott Guthrie:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archi...-2005-sp1.aspx

If you haven't installed SP1, it's a bit more complicated, but still easy.
