I am trying to learn ASP.NET in VS 2003. After learning that IIS was required and not present on XP Home, I found this product. First, thank you for providing it. I downloaded and installed the UltiDev Cassini Web Server for .NET 1.1 without problems.

Unfortunately, when I go to create a new project in VS 2003 (via New...Project...Visual C# Projects...ASP.NET Web Application)...I get the following error:

"Visual Studio .NET cannot create or open the application because no Web server was
detected at this URL: 'http://locahost/WebApplication1'. Make sure the Web server is
installed and running."

I checked the state of the "UltiDev Cassini Web Server for ASP.NET 1.1" service. It was started.

I tried going to "http://localhost:7756/". This brought up the expected application registration screen. Unfortunately, since I can't create the application in the first place, this was not much help.

I am certain, because I am an extreme newbie to this, that I am missing something obvious.

Can anyone please give me a suggestion as to what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi there!

It is possible to run ASP.NET 1.1 applications on XP Home using our Cassini, but unfortunately it is impossible to develop ASP.NET 1.1 applications using Visual Studio 2003 without IIS. As far as development on XP Home goes, your best bet is to get Visual Studio 2005 Express edition - it is free and works on XP Home. It has additional benefit of being much more modern (ASP.NET 2.0) than Visual Studio 2003. We would recommend switching, as we see steady and rather rapid shift of the market share from ASP.NET 1.1 to 2.0.

Best regards,
UltiDev Team.

Thank you for the remarkably quick and helpful response.

I just hope it doesn't break VS 2003 (I still need this to work). MS claims it won't, on their web site, but I've suffered from the inaccuracy of claims like this in the past.

We're always glad to help.

In our experience we have no trouble running Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 side by side on the same box. You should have no problem there.

Thank you for trying UltiDev Cassini,
UltiDev Team.
