Erland,

I don't see why not. What limitations did you think you would have?
You can develop against IIS, just not on the local machine (I don't think
IIS is on Home Edition, but I could be wrong).

No. Windows XP home doesn't have service components, like IIS
But try to look there

Hello Nicholas,

Many thanks for your reply. I just posted the question assuming that
someone else might be running Visual Studio 2005 on Windows XP Home
edition and doing ASP.NET development. I guess you can't have IIS on
Windows XP Home. So my question remains , can you use Visual Studio
2005 on Windows XP home and do ASP.NET devleopment? Has anybody tried
that?

I will appreciate your help.
Regards,

VS 2005 web designer includes a debug version if IIS that will launch
automatically when you are debugging asp.net web-applications.

Hi,

Hello Nicholas,

Not my case exactly , I have Pro

I guess you can't have IIS on

My case is not the same but similar, I do not have IIS installed in my XP
Pro. I do nevertheless develop asp.net but ONLY using VS 2005. Just make
sure to select the web application and select "file system based" (or
something similar).
