Run websites straight from VS Code using IIS Express

This extension gives you the power to run a folder open in Visual Studio code as a website using IIS Express.

Install

Open the command pallete & type ext install then search for IIS Express

IIS Express: Run Website - Start or stop the current folder run as a website

New: Restart site option
New: Keyboard shortcuts to start (Ctrl+F5), stop (Shift+F5) & restart site (Ctrl+Shift+F5)
New: Clicking the status bar icon now opens the site in your browser using the 'start' command & you no longer needn to copy & paste the URL from the ouput window anymore
New: .vscode/iisexpress.json now supports a new property path which allows you to set a subfolder inside your folder as the path of your site to run. This must be a full path & not relative
New: JSON Schema validation & auto-completion of the .vscode/iisexpress.json file
Bug Fix: Fixed logic that will now auto create the .vscode/iisexpress.json config file with the random assigned port if it does not already exist
Removes The old UI of launching the extension/command & using a quick pick options to start & stop the site, as we could not assign a keyboard shortcut to the quick pick items

Adds the following:

Seperate commands for Start, Stop & New Restart option
With new commands we can assign key bindings aka keyboard shortcuts same as the main VS
The status bar when clicked now opens the site in your browser using the 'start' command & don't want to paste & copy the URL from the ouput window anyymore
JSON Schema for the VS Code IISExpress config. Ensure port is specified config value & within correct range of valid port numbers according to IIS Express

Removes the following

The old UI of launching the extension/command & using a quick pick options to start & stop the site, as we could not assign a keyboard shortcut to the quick pick items

Bug Fix: Fixes problem with extension from loading correctly after updating to VSCode 1.3

New: Community PR from @czhj that supports Chinese characters in output build log window

New: Port number setting can be set in .vscode/iisexpress.json if you wish to override random port number

You need the following file added .vscode/iisexpress.json and then you can set the port setting like so

{
    "port":8081
}
