VS2010

Hi,

I am trying to change the hostname of a web-application that I developed in Visual Studio 2010.

When I run the application the hostname is displayed like :
http://localhost:800/Default.aspx

I want to make this URL like:
https://mywebsite.com/Default.aspx

Please suggest a way in which I can change this.

I am trying to use HTTPS and also the URL name to be changed.

Thanks.

Hi
You can not use Https in Visual Studio Development Server.
But you can use HTTPS for site hosted in IISExpress and can be debugged through VS.

Please follow this link[^]

the above link explains how to enable HTTPS in IISExpress and debug through VS.

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the information. I was hoping there was a way I could do it.

Can you please tell me if there is a way I can change the hostname from 'localhost' to my custom page name.

You may need to configure the "applicationhost.config"
For me its located at "C:\Users\username\Documents\IISExpress\config"
But I'm not sure if you can do this.
Anyways if you got the solution then please share.
