    Default Visual Studio Setup

    I'm very sorry if this is explained somewhere in the documentation but I couldn't find it.

    I'm setting up a development environment and have a couple questions.

    1. Do I have to install the site in IIS? I'd rather run it in Visual Studio's dev server.

    2. Visual Studio's dev server runs under a random port (though I could set it to a particular port if need be). If I generate the License file for "localhost", will that work using a non-standard port (non port 80)?

    Thanks for any help and sorry about the very basic questions.

    The Dev Server will work fine. Keep in mind that the dev server is 32-bit-only. This generally isn't an issue, just something to be aware of.

    The port number is stripped out of the Url during the license-verification procedure. It should work fine.
