Hi,
I have a Mono for Android app, working on visual studio.
Lets call this MonoApp
This app, makes an HttpWebRequest to an asp.net MVC3 application which returns a JSON result, A RESTful architecture.
The issue i'm facing is
1. My MVC3 application is deployed (is working)
2. my MonoApp is working
During the course of development, i would need to modify code/content in my MVC3 App, and deploy changes. And then, i might have to make corresponding changes in MonoApp and test the changes.
My question is.. how do you do both concurrently?
1. When MVC3 is running, you get the Builtin ASP.NET webserver, but when you close the applicaion, it goes away, and you loose http://localhost:SomePortNumber which the server was running on.
Currently, i'm stuck with making changes to MVC3 app, deploying (publishing) to internet into my domain (which is somehting i dont want) and then test my MonoApp changes in simulator (which now has to actually go to the INTERNET, instead of contacing app running on local webserver).
I know that one scenario is deploying your MVC3 app to local IIS, but is there a work around to this? as i haven't tried this approach.
If anyone has any ideas, really appreciated.
Thanks.
