title: How can I run an MVC app as a class library?
body: <p>I've just started working on an MVC 4 app, using Visual Studio 2010, got the app building, but alas am still waiting to get admin rights to my Windows XP box.</p>
  
  <p>...and I don't seem to have any way to run the app in my browser. The startup project is a class library, so I can't run it directly by F5ing, and I lack (probably due to not having admin access) the normal options to set the server configuration in the Debug panel in the project's properties.</p>
  
  <p>So what's the best option for me, anyone? Or is this intractable without admin rights?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: <strong>With MVC, make sure the startup project type is Web Application, not Class Library</strong>. I forgot this! If you need to change, see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4492829/how-to-convert-a-class-library-project-to-a-web-application-project">this question</a>. And the problem had nothing to do with not having admin rights.</p>
