How to automate “run asp.net website” from command

问题:

Right now, I do the following manual steps to run an ASP.NET website on my PC:

1. Open Visual Studio and the project inside it
2. Press Ctrl+F5 which:
   1. Builds the solution
   2. Runs IIS express
   3. Opens a browser

How to write a batch file that does the same thing? The last step (opening a browser) is optional but at least I need to build the project and start it on IIS express (or whatever is configured in the project file).

From the visual studio command line you could do the following:

devenv "C:\path\FooSolution.sln" /run

MSDN Devenv Command Line Switches Reference

Wrapping this all up into a batch file (assuming VS 2012) it would become:

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" 
devenv "C:\path\FooSolution.sln" /Run

Update

To run this outside of Visual Studio with IIS Express you would use the following commands:

msbuild.exe "C:\path\FooSolution.sln" 
iisexpress /path:c:\path\fooapp\ /port:666
start "" http://localhost:666

Please note there are many configuration options for both msbuild and iisexpress command. You will need to tailor them to suite your needs.
