Port numbers when Running Service

I want to just default to port 80. When I right-click my WCF service in Visual Studio and select View in Browser, it somehow auto selects a port for me:

http://localhost:55129/Events.svc?wsdl

I want it to just be http://localhost/Events.svc?wsdl

Do I need to setup this service in IIS somehow?

Solution

  • Right click on project, go to properties .

    select the web tab, click on "Use visual studio Development server"

    Click on specify port and enter 80.

    Please confirm that port 80 is not in use by other apps.
