Hi

Until now we developed modules on a server in a single Visual Studio .NET project (without source control etc.). Now we decided to use a source control and to develop on the local machine. I thought "no problem" and set up the necessary environment. What I didn't know (I'm a new employee of this company and im also new to DNN ;)):They use several host headers like dnn1.dev.company.com and dnn2.dev.company.com for different portals. So I ran in a problem when I tryed to debug the dnn web application locally with the integrated web server in Visual Studio. I think the problem seems to be the redirection to "dnn1.dev.company.com" at the beginning because the application starts with the url "localhost/website/Default.aspx". The browser can't find the Default.aspx (because of the virtual directory "website"?!). The other thing is even when I use a mapping in my hosts file the uri in the background is still localhost. It probably would work with IIS, but there's the next problem: IIS on a win xp computer supports just one website. Also a problem - a non dnn one: how can I switch the starting url in Visual Studio easily?

Is there a proper way to debug several portals with different host headers in Visual Studio 2008? I read about UltiDev Cassini WebServer that supports multiple host headers on a client computer. But I'm not sure if it supports all the third party software we use to extend DNN. An other tool I read about is IISAdmin that switches the active website in IIS.

I hope anyone understands my problem ;)
