Default Visual Studio to Local IIS For Debugging

If you have a visual studio project setupĀ in a way that you need to run from a local IIS rather then the IIS express that starts within Visual Studio then there are some quick ways to default your debugging to automatically point to the local.

  • On your project, right-click and go to “Properties”
  • Click on “Web”
  • (optional) Click on “Don’t open a page.”
  • Under servers, Select “Local IIS”
  • In the text box “Project Url”, make sure the correct url is entered for your website.
  • Save and you’re done.
