iis-expressvisual studio
I have a website project, not a web application. I have Visual Studio SP1 (beta) installed, but I only see the option to use an external web server; there is no "Use IIS Express" option like with web applications.
Is this supported? If so, how do I set it up to use IIS Express?
Drag the files / folders from Windows Explorer into the Solution Explorer. It will add them all. Note this doesn't work if Visual Studio is in Administrator Mode, because Windows Explorer is a User Mode process.
You need to put your directory structure in your project directory. And then click "Show All Files" icon in the top of Solution Explorer toolbox. After that, the added directory will be shown up. You will then need to select this directory, right click, and choose "Include in Project."

I just installed Visual Studio 2010 SP1 as well as IIS Express and I found a right-click option on my web project called "Use IIS Express". Scott Guthrie talks about it here: VS 2010 SP1 (Beta) and IIS Express .
