creating new asp.net web application

[srs2000]

Hi, hopefully a v-simple question, im just getting started and trying to create a new asp.net web application in visual studio 2003, my problem is that my IIS webserver is not on the local machine, so when I create a new project
http://localhost/webapplication1 I obviously get the no web server detected error. What should I chance my project file name to?

I've tried http://**servername**/webapplication1 and a few other things like that with no luck.

Anyhelp would be much appriciated.

Thanks

Commonly, I code and test run my web application on the same PC. Therefore, I have IIS installed in it. If you do not have IIS in your PC then you might only be able to code in it. To test, you have to copy your file to the webserver and test it from there.

Just create a simple "Hello World" test just to make sure everything is OK.

Hope that I get you right.

So are we saying I have to have IIS on the local machine? Because I know I could take that method to get it to work, I just wanted to do it across the network as in the original question(Is that not possible then?)

Are you trying to create a project on http://**servername**/webapplication1? I don't think that is possible unless you're locally networked to it and have write access to the folder. However, you cannot write to a web server using http that way. Upload it to the server using FTP or other methods and test run from there. However, I am unaware if VS .Net has a way where you can save the file locally and upon testing it automatically uploads the file to the server and redirects the browser to the webserver.

unlike vb .net where you have to compile the file to exe then only it works, you can just copy the aspx raw files to the webserver and it will somekind of compiling it the first time it runs.
