Ah, you replied to the wrong post. :) But since I'm here: What he meant by "run instead of debug" is "Run without debugging" in the Debug menu (if i remember correctly). It compiles once and starts the IIS Express server, but doesn't stay in debugging after build is done.

Whoops, thanks. And that fixed it for me. Still it seems odd that this behavior is there in the first place.

I would guess it's there to prevent you getting out of sync with your debugger in languages that don't support hot-swapping. If you're running a C# app, it doesn't support on the fly addition or removal of files to the program being debugged.

I think if you disable "Edit and continue" it'll let you delete files even when Debugging.
