Hi folks,

i'm trying to use Visual Studio 2010 (but this also happens with VS2008) as my web server for all locahost development.

When i go into the properties for my web application (sigh, it's a legacy web FORMS app) and check the Web tab .. then check the Use Local IIS Web Server option ... it only allows me to create a virtual directory against a website.

alt text

Why?! this is not what I want :( I wanted to have my own IIS7 website (no virtual directory) and debug against that.

Can anyone help me?

As a side note, i tried to use the third option Use Custom Web Server .. which ends up pointing to my localhost iis7 server. Now, this works ... but when i wish to Start Debugging .. it errors :( (it's not sure how to attach to that process or something?)

So - can anyone out there please help?
