I created new web service in ASP.net and tried running it and got the following error:

"Unable to connect to configured development server"

I googled and found the previous question about it

unable to connect to the configured development web server

and it linked me to this with the 6 steps to do to fix it:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/543b819c-8f53-4192-a248-0b78264928b7/windows7-64-bitvs-2010-64-bit-unable-to-connect-to-the-aspnet-development-web-server?forum=csharpgeneral

but in this step:

"Step 3: For the “Command” textbox setting enter this value: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\WebDev.WebServer.EXE (note: this points to the web-server that VS usually automatically runs)."

I dont have a WebDev.WebServer.EXE in my v2.0.50727 folder and so it tells me that the path doesnt lead to a executable file.

How can I fix this?

Thanks

  • Are u usihg VS? Which version? Typically, VS Dev Server is already pre-installed. If not, you can get IIS Express (if on a desktop). Or better yet, let [Web Platform Installer](http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx) help you figure out what you have and/or don't have and help you decide on what you want/need. – EdSF Jun 24 '14 at 22:28
  • using VS 2013 ultimate atm, thanks for the link, will try it and see if it works. – shadow Jun 24 '14 at 22:31
  • You have an even better version of VS than I do :) It would be odd for you to have "missing" stuff. Right click on your ASP.net application -> `Properties` -> and go to the `Web` tab - you'll see `Servers` and check on that...Hth. – EdSF Jun 24 '14 at 22:37
