You no longer need to develop your ASP.NET pages in a location defined by a separate Web server. Now you can develop your Web pages and ASP.NET applications in any file folder on your computer. Visual Studio 2005 includes a built-in ASP.NET Development Server so you can develop and run ASP.NET applications locally without IIS, SharePoint, or any other server installed. The directory-based model provides greater flexibility in organizing your projects and improves the security of your development machine. The built-in Web server can not be accessed remotely, does not interfere with other server’s activities, and shuts down when you close your Visual Studio 2005 development environment.
