SSL with Visual Studio Development Server - ssl

Is it possible to use SSL with Visual Studio Development Server (a.k.a. Web Application project)? I don't want to have to deploy IIS locally if possible. I'm running Windows 7.
NOTE: I've seen this (http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/354576/add-https-support-to-visual-studio-asp-net-development-server) but I was still hoping there was a workaround.

It cannot be done with VS 2008, so I've simply resorted to deploying my app to the local IIS as part of the start process with a generated cert.

We can use IIS Express with VS 2010 to develope and test web apps in SSL. Here is a complete article explaning how to use IIS Express and Visual Studion 2010 to develope websites in SSL
Working with SSL at Development Time is easier with IISExpress
Introducing IIS Express

this subject was covered here and it say's, you actually can't.
But you might take a look at this link, which might prove the contrary: (See link in comment, i'm not yet able to post more then 1 link per post ...doh)
Hope this helps.

It can be done in VS2010, I'm not sure if VS2008 supports the following approach. Configure Visual Studio to use use Microsoft IIS Express instead of the web server built in to Visual Studio.

Visual Studio 2017 RC4 Webdeploy results in ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED

Tried everything. Deploying same type of web project (Net.Core 1.1) with VS2015 at the very same location using exactly same parameters works without any problems.
Is there any known issue with release RC.4+26206?
This what my server log says:
IISWMSVC_AUTHORIZATION_SERVER_NOT_ALLOWED
Only Windows Administrators are allowed to connect using a server connection. Other users should use the 'Connect To Site or Application' task to be able to connect.
Process:WMSvc
User=sludr
Ok... Found a solution. Same reason as documented here: .net core web deploy requires admin permissions, so VS2017 requires right now a windows account of group Administrators to publish net core projects.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Note: The official VS 2017 RTW still has this bug.

How to deploy VB.net application that uses VS Studio for desktop 2012 and MS SQL Server Management Studio 2008

I'm actually done doing the small-scale application for our office, however, I really don't have any idea how to deploy this one. Can someone provide me any links on how to do this? This project will be deployed in one pc.
If its a Windows application you need to create a setup project.
If its a web based application, install your application on your web server and provide clients with the appropriate link.

Updating IIS website using WCF standard endpoints with Powershell

We have an ASP.Net website running under the 4.0 framework in IIS 7.5 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box. A portion of the web site functionality utilizes WCF and has a "standardEndpoints" section in the web.config.
The website works fine and everything works fine if we want to use the IIS Management Console GUI to do things.
We would like to use powershell to make changes to the web.site but when we run "Set-WebConfigurationProperty" an error is generated indicating that the "standardEndpoints" section of the web.config can't be processed.
The hotfix referenced here is not the solution. The website works, the hotfix appears to be only for Server 2008 (not R2), and when you try to install it, it says "not applicable for this server".
We did discover by running $PSVersionTable that PowerShell was referencing version 2.0 of the CLR. We installed Powershell 3.0 and now Powershell is referencing version 4.0 of the CLR but the problem persists.
We are looking to see if there is a simple solution to this. I suspect we may not have the right version of the IIS management script dll but can't find a different one to use. If the solution gets to complicated, we will just wipe the server and start from scratch.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John

How to easily publish web site from VS2008 on Windows 2008 R2 IIS?

I'm working on a WCF project with Visual Studio 2008 that needs to be regulary published on an external Windows 2008 R2 server.

Deploy a Silverlight Lync application on IIS7

I'm writing a Silverlight application in Visual Studio 2010 leaning on the walktroughs in the Lync SDK.
If I run the application in VS 2010 it all works in debug and in the release version.
If I try to deploy this to IIS7 the Silverlight is also running but I can't see the presence. The little square is without a filling color.
I assume some configuration is missing on IIS7?
My environment is a Windows Vista PC with local IIS7.
Can someone help me?
Did you add the site to your browsers Trusted Sites zone? see the answer here
This is a bug in Lync SDK

The combination of adding the site to the Trusted Sites zone in addition to installing the fix below seems to resolve this issue.
