Running a web site in Visual Studio

When there is an object on the web page, the web site can be run from Visual Studio. Proceed as follows:

1. Either press F5 on the keyboard or click the Run Debug button in the toolbar:

   
   

   Alternatively, select Debug > Start Debugging:
   

2. Visual Studio prompts a question, Debugging Not Enabled.

   Select one of the following options:

   • Modify the Web.config file to enable debugging: select this option to have Visual Studio edit the Web.config file. By selecting this option, the question is not prompted again, but can be re-enabled by setting the compilation debug parameter to false in the Web.config file, as follows:

     <compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="true">

   • Run without debugging: select this option to avoid editing the Web.config file.

   Click OK to verify the selection.

   

   Information noteDebugging should be disabled in the Web.config file before deploying the web site in a production environment.

The web site is now displayed in an Internet browser.
