Creating ASP.NET project on XP home

Hi there,

I have a visual studio .net IDE and I want to develop ASP.NET pages, I have
XP Home, I know that IIS can't be run on XP home or is not available on XP
Home Edition. I has to use ASP.NET webmatrix development tool to develop my
pages but it would be great if somehow I could replace the default web server
(IIS) in Visual Studio .NET development tools with some other web servers
like the one in the web matrix and this way I could develop under visual
studio .net and keep my XP Home without the need to upgrade to proffesional.

I don't want to write pages that can be accessed remotely, but I like to
develop under VS .net other than web matrix(better editor ...).

Does anyone know if there is a workaroud for this issue?

Thanks

Mike
