I have a C# Asp.net web project made in Visual Studio. The project runs on a certain port (57243) and I made other programs that were testing the web service etc to use "localhost:57243".

Recently I tried running the project in Jetbrains' Rider IDE because of whatever reasons I made up at the time. The only issue I am having now is that the web service runs on port 5001 and I cannot find any property to change the base url or the host port to make it work.

TLDR, I am looking for this option inside the Jetbrains' Rider IDE: enter image description here

This can be done inside the Rider IDE if you like.

If you edit the run/build configuration you are using when you hit F5 and then edit the environment variables you can add the ASPNETCORE_URLS environment variable which will run the app using the port specified as shown here.

Steps to edit the setting

  1. Open the edit screen for the run/build configuration
  2. Click the ellipsis on the environment variables edit box to edit
  3. Click the plus (+) symbol to add a new evironment variable
  4. Set the name to ASPNETCORE_URLS and the value to http://*:57243
  5. Save your changes and run
