Removing ASP.NET Development Server Icon in notification area

[jpero09]

Does anyone know of a way to disable the "ASP.NET Development Server"
icon that appears in the notification area of the task bar when
launching an app in 2.0? Or atleast the balloon tip?

Sure - change your project configuration to use IIS and don't use the
development server. The baloon tooltip does get annoying after the first
100 times you launch your app though...

years went by - the notification is still nasty!

as an experiment i just came to the idea to
decompile/patch/recompile the webserver40

it looks promising

feel free to fetch source (including a precompiled binary)
at //baevo.com/forums/WebDev.WebServer40.zip
you could simply replace your local copy
(located somewhere like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\DevServer\10.0\WebDev.WebServer40.exe")

be aware that i don't hold any rights with that webserver whatsoever,
if microsoft should tell me that it's not okay i'll immediately delete
the file. i don't guarantee for anything. don't trust 3rd party binaries,
review the source, compile it on your own.

feedback? feedback!
omit the filename in the stated url, un-rot13 the returned string -
feel free to drop me your two cents there...

so long...
