    VS Web Server relative hyperlink problem

    I have 2 projects, in the same Visual Studio solution, with hyperlinks
    between them. These are file system projects that use the Visual
    Studio Web Server, not my local IIS. When the Visual Studio Web
    Server starts the projects are running on a port, and each project has
    a different port.
    For example, website1 runs on http://localhost:1234/webSite1
    And website2 runs on http://localhost:5678/webSite2

    Because of the port I cannot link between the two projects. In
    webSite1 I want a relative hyperlink that links to webSite2 (href="/
    webSite2/somePage.aspx") . How can I accomplish this?

    These are existing projects that were built using IIS. Due to
    security concerns we are no longer able to run IIS on our development
    machines and must use the Web Server that comes with Visual Studio.
    I'm trying to make this work with changing code or our design. Is
    that possible?

    Thanks for any help,
    Don

      Re: VS Web Server relative hyperlink problem

      Don,

      What you might try doing is setting the port to be static in the web
      projects, and using the configuration file to specify the other site's
      address. Then you can pull the base address from the configuration file to
      build your URLs between the sites.

      To set the port to be static, left-click on the web project. In the
      Properties property grid, set "Use dynamic ports" to false, and set a value
      for "Port number".

      Hope this helps,
