Solution

To specify a port for the ASP.NET Development Server - WebSite / WebServices projects

- In Solution Explorer, click the name of the application.

- In the Properties pane, click the down-arrow beside Use dynamic ports and select False from the dropdown list. This will enable editing of the Port number property.

- In the Properties pane, click the text box beside Port number and type in a port number. Click outside of the Properties pane.This saves the property settings.

- Each time you run a file-system Web site within Visual Web Developer, the ASP.NET Development Server will listen on the specified port.

Problem

I have a WebSite project in Visual Studio 2008 (not a Web Application project!) How do I set the ASP.NET Development startup port to a static port in a WebSite project?
