Configure Visual Studio 2010 web application project to run on localhost:8080

Question

I am using local IIS instead of the VS Web Server but instead of a virtual directory on the Default Web Site, I want to configure my web application project to run in its own IIS Web Site on port 8080. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Setup a website on IIS, using port 8080.

Point the home directory of this site to the web application project directory.

To debug on IIS, attach to the worker process (w3wp.exe).
