The very few extensions are available either don't support all the features available with IIS Express or require the use of 3rd-party software to work. \n\nThis extension uses VSCode `tasks`, `launch` configurations, generated scripts and generated IIS Express specific configuration files to work, that's it.\n\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2a22ad1b-fbcd-4dc9-9703-74a56c9faf6e)\n\n## Features\n- Integrates with new and existing projects\n- Uses your `launchSettings.json` to configure IIS Express\n- Does all the IIS Express configuration for you (that you can edit manually if you wish to)\n- Start debugging with one key press (`F5`)\n- IIS Express output available in the terminal\n- IIS Express stdout logs available in the build folder (e.g. `bin/Debug/net8.0/.iis-express/logs`)\n- Closes IIS Express when you stop debugging (and the debugger also stops when you close IIS Express)\n- Can start in `Debug` or `Release` configuration (using predefined tasks)  \n- You can edit every configuration and script as you wish\n\n## Requirements\n- IIS Express (usually comes with Visual Studio Web Developpement installation module)\n\n## Installation\nThe extension is currently *not* on the VSCode extension marketplace, until it hits version 1.0.\n\nAs of now, use the VSIX build available in the [`Release`](https://github.com/nomis51/iis-express-vscode/releases/latest) section or build it yourself using the `yarn package` command.\n\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/94f2e519-8e67-4a3e-a1d7-ab72a2c16c12)\n\n## Get started\n- Install the extension\n- Open a new or existing ASP.NET project\n- Open the command palette (`Ctrl + Shift + P`)\n- Type `IIS Express`\n- Select the `IIS Express: Initialize` command\n- Select the `Starting project`\n- Follow the simple instructions\n- Press `F5` to start the application\n\nYou can pick a configuration in the Debug tab (default Debug)\n\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d845e522-9c5c-450f-88a6-e1a6bf47105a)\n\n## Commands\n- `IIS Express: Initialize` : Setup the current solution to be able to boot a project with IIS Express\n- `IIS Express: Stop` : Manually closes any IIS Express instances running (sometimes IIS Express can get stuck. Can also happens in other IDEs like Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider, so here's a quick command to stop it)\n\n## Developping\n- Clone the repository\n- Install packages using `yarn`\n- Hit `F5` to launch the extension in a VSCode sandbox\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnomis51%2Fiis-express-vscode","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnomis51%2Fiis-express-vscode","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnomis51%2Fiis-express-vscode/lists"}
