I am a teacher and will do an exam for a couple of students in basic Asp.Net. During the exam they will only do very easy things, so validation of code behind logic etc is not much of a concern.

My problem is that the IT department cannot set things up so that the students have access to a web server (on a dedicated server for exams). The only thing they have available is Visual Studio 2010. I wonder how much the students can do anyway. For example, they should be able to view the .aspx files in Design view even without a web server installed (or so I presume). Is there a way to actually run an Asp.Net web site without a web server (like one can run a set of HTML pages)? Just to be able to click around, with no real logic involved. Or anything similar?

If Visual Studio is installed, it can be run on the Visual Studio Development Server. You don't need to do anything else, but keep in mind that it does not fully represent a production server.

  • Thanks, I will give it a try myself and see if I can get it to work... :) – user2040543 Mar 20 '13 at 08:51
  • It should work; I don't recall ever having to do anything special other than installing Visual Studio for Cassini to run. I'd be interested to learn if that's not the case. – Cody Mar 20 '13 at 08:58
  • Thanks again, It seems as if everyone here agrees, so I'm sure you're all correct. – user2040543 Mar 20 '13 at 12:58
