I am developing a databased driven web app in Visual Studio 2019. I am able to see the page by clicking on run button IIS Express (Google Chrome) and in the browser it shows me http://localhost:49167/WebForm1.aspx.
But, if I opens browser independently and says http://localhost:49167/WebForm1.aspx I gets :
Sounds like the site is not running in IIS Express. IIS Express shuts down when you stop the debugger. Press ctrl-F5 to start IIS Express. Then you can close and open the browser. Another option is deploying the site to IIS on the local machine.
Thanks for your reply. You mentioned press ctrl-F5. Kindly elaborate more, I am not getting when and where I have to ctrl-F5 and what else I need to use / test the site in server machine as well as other clients too.

Press ctrl-F5 while Visual Studio has the focus. This will start the application without the debugger. You can do the same from the Debug dropdown menu in Visual Studio.
Once the debugger stops it disappears. At least that is the behavior in VS2019. Previously you can start the debugger, then stop it, and the site would still work.
Will "mark as answered" if your answers help me. Will you do the same?
I am not in hurry to live the site. It's really frustrating that I am able to run the app through vs but not directly through browser. And the above solution made me more mad.
I don't want to open the vs for running the app, just mention the app url and access it.
As suggested three times now, create an IIS application on your machine. We can not see your machine and have no idea if you installed IIS which is a Windows feature. If you have IIS installed then simply follow the instruction in my previous thread.
It is a step by step guide for building a IIS applcation to host your Web Forms app.
Then all you have to do is copy the web forms application to the virtual directory you configured when creating the IIS application.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit in Virtual environment. As you suggested, I followed your previous link Now I am getting HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
Error Code 0x80070005 something permission related issue which is not addressed in that link. Generally, I don't link to use MS tech but its my unfortunate that I could not find VS kind open source linux based framework, so I have to use these F*** things.
I think your link dont't work for windows 7, but still I tried to follow. I am at
To add an ASP.NET application by using the UI:
In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node.
While there is no "Sites" node. It is showing the server name, still I expanded it. In it i got Sites node. Ok. May be it is the "Sites" node which document is saying. Now,
"Right-click the site for which you want to create an application, and click Add Application."
Now, If I clicks Sites here, there are 3 options in context menu :
Add Web site
Refresh
Switch to Content View
There is no Add Application option.
So, rather than just mentiontion of the link, if you really wish to help the people, take one step ahead and see what actually is there because these are MS tech which world knows how "Good" are... LOL
Now, If I clicks Sites here, there are 3 options in context menu :

There is no Add Application option.
You can click "Add Website…" option, and configure Site name, Application pool, and Physical path etc, to create a Website first. Then if you'd like to add/create an Application, you can select the website you added, right click on it and select "Add Application..."
option.
Besides, I recommend that you can check the following article to understand the concepts of Sites and Applications.

And as explained above, host the application in IIS or use a hosting service.
See IIS support for how to configure IIS.

That localhost address is tied to the debugger.
Once the debugger stops it disappears. At least that is the behavior in VS2019. Previously you can start the debugger, then stop it, and the site would still work.

Open up a free Azure account and publish to Azure.
In 15 minutes your site is live.
You will be spending many hours mucking around with IIS.

No reason to get mad, just accept and move on.
By the way what do you want to achieve by running the app in a browser only?

3.Test Connection : Authentication Says Green Tick mark. Authorization - Some exclamation mark Cannot verify access to path (C:\users\gk\source...
4.Binding
Type - http IP Address : All Unasigned Port 80
5.Host Name : I don't know what to put here so I put abc.com and Clicked on Ok.
Now, I don't know what to mention in browser to access the site. When I says http://localhost/test it says 404
If I says http://localhost/test/Webform1.aspx :
Server Error in '/' Application.
