Possible To Create Web Application On Other Than Local Server

[Scott]

I have been told that the only way to develop an ASP.NET application
is to do it on the localhost, and then just copy the files out to the
web server that will be hosting. Is this true?

Scenario:
Our network folks don't want us installing IIS on all of our machines.
ASP.NET requires IIS to be installed.
Does IIS need to be on the developing machine?

We are currently getting the error "Visual Studio .NET has detected
that the specified web server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You
will be unable to run ASP.NET Web applications or services."

This particular server is running NT4, and from what I've found so
far, 2000 or higher is required.We have another server that will be
upgraded to 2000 soon, so planning on trying it.

We are just moving towards web development, so appreciate any help
that can be offered.

No. It's preference.

I'm sure this is security related.

It only needs to be on the computer where the code is being served.

This would mean the .NET Framework 1.1 is not being seen as present.

If IIS is only needed on the machine serving the code, then developing
locally won't be a problem for us.

Yes, security is their main concern.

The 1.1 Framework is installed; I am going to try running
"aspnet_regiis.exe /i" today to see if there is any luck. Is Win 2000
or greater "required"?

This means you do not have to have IIS running local. I don't. However, I
use Visual Studio to develop my code and I work in what is called Master
mode. This means I develop locally and remotely but I could work in local
mode. However, I cannot view server-side scripting unless I use a web
server. In master mode, my code is automatically saved locally and remotely
when I save it. I can then right-click on the file I'm working on, after
saving, in my project explorer and select View in browser. This will launch
IE and call for the virtual path on the web server so I can test the page.

Perhaps something in interfering.
Everything you need to know about .NET Framework 1.1:

If you need help with .NET development, the NGs supporting it have dotnet in
their name.
