Web Server for Windows XP

[jerry_asp]

Hi all,

I'm trying to develop website using ASP.NET. I don't hav IIS installed in my system. I tried installing it, but I could not.

Is there any other webserver available for the Windows XP. I also need SMTP in it. I should have options to send mail in my website.

Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

If you are using Microsoft.Net 2005 verison, that comes with local webserver .. you don't need to have IIS for testing purpose..

Mono has an implementation of ASP.NET 2.0 (currently missing WebParts). Our next goal is to ship ASP.NET AJAX as well.

As Adrian has said Visual Studio 2005 comes with its own webserver which will allow you to develop and test without IIS.

One thing to watch out for though is it tends to start your projects in a subdirectory

IE

http:// localhost: //

Thats all well and good but you will need to be careful when developing that your code will work at root level as well, its quite a common mistake especially with CSS for your code not to work properly when deployed to

For testing purpose you need not to install IIS. But for maintain SMTP protocol u will need to install exchange server to send mail. Thanks
