    Thanks! It worked. I am also glad you included screenshots and easy to understand how to instructions!

    Doesn't this solution cause your properties -> web settings to revert to "Use Visual Studio Development Server", and thus you can no longer debug using IIS?

    I had terrible problems with this issue. If you need to run with IIS instead of the Development Server, check your IIS settings for the website. In IIS, on the "Bindings" screen make sure that the "host name" field is set to blank. If the host name value set to anything else (including "localhost") Visual Studio 2008 will have problems loading the project. Host name must be blank in IIS.

    Thanks - this was the problem I was having - in fact this fixes the supposed "work-around" whereby you instruct visual studio to NOT use IIS. For a while I was doing this, and using 'Custom Server URL' to point to my application on my local server. This is what should be done ^
    Thanks again
