This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to set up localhost in Visual Studio, which is an essential step in the process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Open_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Step 1: Open Visual Studio<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you need to do is to launch Visual Studio. You can either search for it in the &#8216;Start&#8217; menu or click on the Visual Studio icon on your desktop.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Create_a_New_Project\"><\/span>Step 2: Create a New Project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Next, create a new project by clicking on &#8216;File&#8217; from the menu bar, selecting &#8216;New,&#8217; and then &#8216;Project.&#8217; Choose the type of application you want to create, such as &#8216;ASP.NET Web Application,&#8217; and then click on &#8216;Create.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Choose_a_Template\"><\/span>Step 3: Choose a Template<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You will be prompted to choose a template for your project. You can either opt for a predefined template or select the &#8216;Empty&#8217; template to build your project from scratch.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Configure_the_Local_Host\"><\/span>Step 4: Configure the Local Host<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Setting up the localhost requires you to follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Select &#8216;Project&#8217; from the menu bar, followed by &#8216;Properties.&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Under the &#8216;Web&#8217; tab, select the &#8216;Local IIS&#8217; option and click on &#8216;Create Virtual Directory.&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Enter a name for the virtual directory in the &#8216;Alias&#8217; field and click on &#8216;OK.&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Run_the_Project\"><\/span>Step 5: Run the Project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the localhost set up, run the project on your local machine by hitting F5 or selecting &#8216;Debug&#8217; from the menu bar and clicking on &#8216;Start Debugging.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Test_and_Debug\"><\/span>Step 6: Test and Debug<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once your project is running, you can use your browser to test it by navigating to localhost, followed by the name of the virtual directory you created. For instance, if you named your virtual directory &#8216;MyProject,&#8217; navigate to &#8216;http:\/\/localhost\/MyProject.&#8217; If everything is working smoothly, the built-in debugger in Visual Studio will help you debug any issues that may arise.<\/p>\n<p>Setting up localhost in Visual Studio may seem complicated, but with these simple steps, you can quickly get started. By testing and debugging on localhost, you can ensure that your application works correctly before deploying it to a live server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Setting up Localhost in Visual Studio As a developer, it is crucial to test and debug your programs before deploying them on a live server.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3297],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Visual-Studio-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12506"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12506"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13459,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12506\/revisions\/13459"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
