Run ASP.NET project outside of visual studio

I have an ASP.NET project in visual studio which works with IIS Express. I want to build and run the project in the browser without opening visual studio. Is it possible? Remember that I don't want to deploy it to IIS.

EDIT: I corrected my command based on the provided answers. This is my command:

@ECHO off
SET CurrentDir="%CD%"
SET IISRoot="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IIS Express\"
CD /D %IISRoot%
START http://localhost:7710/
IISExpress /path:%CurrentDir%\ProjectFolder\ /port:7710
Solution

  • Of couse you can. To build it just run

     C:\ Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSbuild.exe

    If you use different version of framework just check the correct path

    To run it call

      iisexpress /path:c:\myapp\ /port:9090
