   From: Scott Gu's site
   This instructs VS 2005 to treat this project not as a regular class library project, but rather as a VS 2005 Web Application Project (this will cause the web-items to by added to your new item dialog, support running the application using the built-in VS web-server or IIS, and enable auto-attaching to web-servers for debug scenarios among other things).

10. Close the opened project file and click save
11. Right click the same project again and click reload project
12. Right click the same project again and click Properties
13. You should now notice a WEB option on the left side
14. Set the start page option to current page (this allows you to hit F5 on any page and it will start there)
15. Set the servers options to Use IIS Web Server
16. Set the starting URL to http://localhost/community or whatever your url maybe in IIS (you have to put the http:// in or it will fail)
17. Leave the debuggers section unchanged (ASP.NET)
18. Save changes (Almost Done)
19. Right click the same project again and click Set as startup project
20. Open the web.config file
    1. Change the compilation debug setting from false to true
       <compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="true" />
21. Last Step: open IIS and go to your website/virtual directory
    1. Click the directory security tab
    2. Click the Edit button under Anonymous Access and Authentication Control
    3. Check the check box at the bottom for Integrated Windows Authentication

NOTE: Be sure that IIS is pointing to your source (SDK) web directory

NOTE 2: If you find debugging to be slow... change your compilation options and tell VS not to rebuild the entire solution every time.  This will significantly speed things up.  Just be sure to rebuild the projects that you change.

To do this:

1. Right  Click on the solution
2. Click Configuration Manager
3. Choose debug as the Active Solution Configuration
4. In the build column only leave the projects checked that you want to build everytime you hit F5
5. Click Close
