IIS is a web hosting service that comes with more upscale versions of Windowswhich processes web pages. If you are installing Visual Studio Web Develeloper, you do not have to install IIS, as Visual Studio will install a scaled down version of the service to substitute for it. It will alllow you to see what the web pages you design will look like, but does not serve these pages to the web at large like IIS can.
IIS is not required for developing ASP.net applications because Visual Web Developer Express has a built-in server so you can run those asp applications when you’re developing them.
No you don’t have to install IIS as as Visual Studio installs a “custom” version of it. It does not include – of course – all the features in the original one but it perfectly serves a developers needs. To run it, just make a new website application in Visual Studio, write some code in the default page then press F5 to run the application in Visual Studio IIS.
It is worth noting that this minified version uses another port than port 80, which means if you do have another webserver running (apache for example) and using the default HTTP port (port 80) it won’t interfere with it.
See Friend,
IIS is one of the ways to host your web application on the local machine.
Anyway It’s must to run your application in your local machine atleast to test, right..
So you’ll need have Internet Information Server installed on your local.
In most of the cases It’ll be active on the time of OS Installation..
If it’s not there then don’t worry
Follow the Steps [ Ctrl Panel -> Add/Rem Pgms -> (in the left pane select) Add/Rem Windows Components -> Check the IIS -> Ok ]
And Wait for the Installation to completed..
Then your machine will require Restart .. Allow it..
After the system start your VS is ready to Build and Run a Web Application..!
Wish You all success.
