visual studio localhost server can't locate file
- by mhenk
i have a very simple web project. just one htm file with some javascript that opens a file test.xml.
the xml file is in the same folder as the htm file (and it is part of the project) but when i start the page (f5 or ctrl-f5) it can't find the xml.
it starts as http://localhost:50586/main.htm
when i do a folder list the test.xml file is right there.
opening the page directly in firefox works fine and the script can read and extract data from the xml.
how can i convince the development server that the xml is indeed there??
or better still: how can i turn the development server off entirely?
for my purposes simply opening the page in my browser is all i need and that should happen from within vs of course.
