Question

I attempted to run my web service through visual studio. I faced an issue like :

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio

Answer 1

I tried the following already:

• Restarted Visual Studio
• Check all available ports that might be listening to my specific number but it always return zero results. No processes is listening in my port.

• I also tried using this but zero results.

  netstat -aon | find ":80"

• I also tried using but also return zero results.

  netstat -ao | findstr

So what I did is delete this "Microsoft.VsHub.Server.HttpHostx64.exe" then my project successfully started and launch in browser. The error was fixed. I am not sure why but it works.

Here is the screenshot:
