Unable to connect to ASP.Net Development Server issue

Question

I am debugging codeplex simple project. I am using

• VSTS 2008

• Windows Vista x86 Enterprise.

I have not modified any code

Answer 1

hi Just change the asp.netweb development server port from automatic to a specific port e.g 8010 That's what worked for me

Answer 2

That is very odd! I hate to suggest something as simple as restarting Visual Studio...but that is what sounds like the best first place to start. Also, check your project settings. As you said that you just downloaded this and tried to run it...perhaps the solution/project is not set up to use the Casini server that is shipped with Visual Studio?

Answer 3

--Problem Definition

--------step 5------

run the program

Answer 4

Go to Run >> type >> cmd >> type taskkill /IM webdev.webserver20.exe and then try to re run the program

Answer 5

In my case I was using Windows 8 and Windows Firewall was blocking WebDev.WebServer.EXE

So I went to the settings of Windows Firewall > Allow an app through Windows Firewall > Add new and browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\11.0 Then select WebDev.WebServer to allow.
