1. **Local IIS Server**

When you create a data service that is an ASP.NET application or ASP.NET Web site that runs on Internet Information Services (IIS), we recommend that you develop and test your data service by using IIS on the local computer. Running the data service on IIS makes it easier to trace HTTP requests during debugging. This also enables you to pre-determine the necessary rights required by IIS to access files, databases, and other resources required by the data service. To run your data service on IIS, make sure that both IIS and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) are installed and configured correctly and grant access to IIS accounts in the file system and databases. For more information, see [How to: Develop a WCF Data Service Running on IIS](how-to-develop-a-wcf-data-service-running-on-iis.md).

Visual Studio includes a built-in Web server, the Visual Studio Development Server, which is the default Web server for ASP.NET projects. This Web server is designed to run ASP.NET projects on the local computer during development. The [WCF Data Services quickstart](quickstart-wcf-data-services.md) shows how to create a data service that runs in the Visual Studio Development Server.

You should be aware of the following limitations when you use the Visual Studio Development Server to develop the data service:

Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio includes an integrated set of tools for developing Windows Azure services in Visual Studio. With these tools, you can develop a data service that can be deployed to Windows Azure, and you can test the data service on the local computer before deployment. Use these tools when using Visual Studio to develop a data service that runs on the Windows Azure platform. For information about installing the tools, see [Azure tools for Visual Studio 2015](../../../azure/sdk/vs2015-install.md). For more information about developing a data service that runs on Windows Azure, see the post [Deploying an OData Service in Windows Azure](https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/astoriateam/deploying-an-odata-service-in-windows-azure).

When a data service is developed as an ASP.NET project, it can be deployed to an IIS Web server by using the standard ASP.NET deployment processes. Visual Studio provides the following deployment technologies for ASP.NET, depending on the kind of ASP.NET project that hosts the data service that you are deploying.
