Virtual Directories not showing in IIS? (Visual Studio Application)

Question

I'm attempting to do a second part of a tutorial here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff729689.aspx I'm following the instructions in that I have the OrderServiceProject creating a virtual directory here http://localhost:8087/OrderService. From what I'm seeing, it should be creating successfully, but the OrderService virtual directory doesn't seem to exist according to iis.

I'm completely new to interacting with iis and would appreciate any assistance

You have to select the Web tab in the project properties.

Select your local web servern enter the project url and click on "Create Virtual Directory".

Important Note : Your local IIS server have to be started and binded to port 80. local IIS server is not IIS Express or Visual Studio Web Dev Server.

To open the IIS Manager, run InetMgr in the start menu.
