Cannot open a project in Visual Studio because the local IIS url has not been configured

Question

I have copied my asmx hello webservice to a remote server where I tried to open the project I have this message. That I answer yes or no it cannot open the project VS stays blank.

Originally I think I have clicked on associate this project with IIS Express. Now I don't know how to revert this.

Digging around deeper I found where this setting is controlled. Under OPtions > Projects & Solutions > Web Projects. I would uncheck "Use IIS Express" that way the built-in debug web server takes over.

Right-click the project and click properties. Go to Start Options. Make sure it has "Use default Web server" checked and not a custom server. IF custom server is checked, set your URL there.
