VS2013 Pro：在远程IIS上调试网站

Question

I have just tried to open a VS2012 project (VB.net web site) in VS 2013 Professional RTM and the "Start Options" dialog does not allow me to enter a custom server.

Under "Start Options" all I see is a disabled text box for "Base URL"

Any idea how I can enable this option so I can enter the address of the web site?

Answer 1

According to Microsoft support, this is currently not possible using VS2013:

The product group will look into the possibility to add this functionality back. They are looking into adding it back (but it is not guaranteed) in Update 1.

Answer 2

I found a solution.
You need to open your .sln and edit the file with your custom server like this :

Project("{E24C65DC-7377-472B-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}") = "Project name", "**your custom server url**", "{029F2DEE-E3D8-488E-9719-AA0C4B9DB9BD}"

And set UseIISExpress to false .
