How to configure Web role on Azure Compute Emulator to work like local IIS (static URL)

Question

So, the question is how to configure Web role on Azure Compute Emulator to work like on local IIS? By this I mean, that, the web role have the fixed url (like you can in project properties set the "Use Local IIS Web server" and set the fixed url)?

How to set Azure Compute Emulator to work on static url or at least at static port?

Is is really annoying that everytime I start the web role I have different url (port)!

Answer 1

The answer is that you cannot run it on a static port, but it should run on the first available port in its port range (starting at 80 and incrementing until it finds a free port). If it increments with every "debug" session starting, then it's because the previous emulator didnt teardown completely before you started a new one.
