Visual Studio 2013始终在IIS Express中打开网站

Question

I am having a website in ASP.Net 4.0 in VS2010 that works of IIS localhost and not IIS Express or VS local dev server. When I open this same website in VS 2013 ( File > Open Web Site...), it always uses IIS Express ( and not IIS) as in screen shot below.

Is there any way I could use the regular IIS ( not the express version) and also, can I change VS 2013 to show IIS websites and not IIS Express sites ie make VS 2013 use regular IIS?

Answer 1

If you run Visual Studio as an Administrator, it should let you access and open IIS Sites OR IIS Express Sites.

IIS Express is pretty much the same thing as IIS. The only major difference is that IIS Express does not have a configuration UI. You have to handle everything through the command line.
