IIS question

[Guest]

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a .NET Web application from a machine that doesn't
have IIS installed and reference another IIS?
Thanks in advance,

Roy

hi Roy,
you can create an asp.net web application by using a Class Library project
instead of a Web Project in visual studio. let me know if you would like
instructions on how to do this. then you are just compiling a dll and there
is no involvement with a web server.

in fact, many people (myself included) have been annoyed at the way VS ties
in the virtual directory with the project setup, and as such always use
class libraries instead of web projects in VS. the source control
integration is much simpler then also.

then you can deploy your web files via FTP or whatever to the remote web
server, and go from there.

hope this helps

hi Fred,
fritz onion gets the credit for this article:
http://www.pluralsight.com/fritz/Samples/aspdotnet_without_web_projects.htm
it explains how to develop web projects as class libraries. you can have
interactive debugging also if you set the debug type to URL instead of
project in the project properties.
