I am not sure about how Apache can be used with VS 2002 but I was in a similar situation as you recently with when I needed to work on an existing ASP.NET project with Visual Studio 2003 on Windows XP Home.
I tried out the hack as proposed on www.asp.net's forum where in you use Cassini Web Server with Visual Studio 2003 and it worked [although you would have to debug externally with GuiDebug instead]. At that point of time that solved my purpose. I discovered Mod_AspdotNet later when I needed to host a asp.net web app from my home with Windows XP [its perfect for that, thanks guys]. I use WebMatrix for web applications I write so I didn't try to get Visual Studio 2003, ASP.NET and Mod_AspdotNet to work. Sorry.
You can read the hack at http://forums.asp.net/344386/ShowPost.aspx

Hi,
I'm new here. Please bear with me.
I have a laptop with XP Home. I'm trying to get Visual studio Asp
dot.net (2002/2003) compiler to run with apache because XP Home doesn't
come with a web server.
So I've successfully installed Apache 2.054 and Mod_AspdotNet with the
help of this site :***
<http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/mod_aspdotnet/mod_aspdotnet-2.0.0.msi >***
http://weblogs.asp.net/israelio/archive/2005/09/11/424852.aspx
I created a directory C:\Toshiba for my web files.
then i added this to the http.conf :
#ASP.NET
LoadModule aspdotnet_module modules/mod_aspdotnet.so
AddHandler asp.net asax ascx ashx asmx aspx axd config cs csproj licx
rem resources resx soap vb vbproj vsdisco webinfo
<IfModule mod_aspdotnet.cpp>
# Mount the ASP.NET /asp application
AspNetMount /WebApp "c:/TOSHIBA/WebApp"
#/WebApp is the alias name for asp.net to execute
# is the actual execution of files/folders in that location
Alias /WebApp "c:/TOSHIBA/WebApp"
#maps /WebApplication1 request to "c:/TOSHIBA/WebApp"
#now to get to the /WebApplication1 type http://localhost/WebApp
#It'll redirect http://localhost/WebApplication1 to "c:/TOSHIBA/WebApp"
# Allow asp.net scripts to be executed in the example /WebApplication1
<Directory "c:/TOSHIBA/WebApp">
Options FollowSymlinks ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.aspx
#default the index page to .htm and .aspx
</Directory>
# For all virtual ASP.NET webs, we need the aspnet_client files
# to serve the client-side helper scripts.
AliasMatch /aspnet_client/system_web/(\d+)_(\d+)_(\d+)_(\d+)/(.*)
"C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v$1.$2.$3/ASP.NETClientFiles/$4"
<Directory "C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v*/ASP.NETClientFiles">
Options FollowSymlinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</IfModule>
#asp.net
I put an index.aspx file in the c:/TOSHIBA/WebApp directory :
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet"href=""> </head>
<body>
<center>
<form action="" method="post">
<h3> Name: <input id="Name" type=text>
Category: <select id="Category" size=1>
<option>One</option>
<option>Two</option>
<option>Three</option>
</select>
</h3>
<input type=submit value="Lookup">
<p>
<% Dim I As Integer
For I = 0 to 7 %>
<font size="<%=I%>"> Sample ASP.NET TEST</font> <br>
<% Next %>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>
Then i started the Apache webserver, surfed to http://localhost/WebApp
and it showed the index file all right !
But now i wanted to use VisualStudio 2002 : this does not work :
It says that the UNC share "\\TOSHIBA\wwwroot$\Webapp" does not exist or
you do not have access.
I try to change it to "\\TOSHIBA\toshiba\Webapp", but i get the same error.
And with VS 2003 : It complains that the web server runs ASP.NET 1.0,
which is not true. It asks me either to upgrade the webserver or to
make the app compliant with 1.1 or not to create the project.
So i'm stuck with the third option : use Webmatrix, and the move all
files by hand. not a pleasant prospect.
I haven't tested VS.net 2005
Has anybody gotten VS.NET 2002/03 to work with Apache ? I'd be really
grateful if you could share your experience.
Thanks in advance,
Andreas Vandenberghe
