WebDev.WebServer.EXE hangs


I am using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 with .NET Framework sp1. I am not using IIS but the built-in server provided by vs 2008.

I have an ASP.NET MVC project, which sometimes when started opens the browser window & just keeps on trying to load the default page. After stopping the application & killing the webserver, there's still always an instance of WebDev.WebServer.EXE running in taskmanager.

For whatever reason, I am unable to kill this process & I have no choice but to restart my system. Is there a solution for this?


Solution

  • For now, i started using IIS instead of Cassini, so i don't have to deal with webdev.webserver.exe issues.
