iis express running site without debug (ie running all the time while vs is open)

Question

My app for ages would keep runing even when I wasn't debugging in VS 2010. Now it only runs when debugging. It was really nice for it to run even when not debugging before?

Any ideas why this might have stopped, I miss it working nicely?

Answer 1

I have noticed that in VS 2013 that if you uncheck 'Enable Edit and Continue' that it will work.

Answer 2

You can start it manually from the command line, either by site name or application pool: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/870/running-iis-express-from-the-command-line/
