I think all the answers here are relevant however if  like me  you are looking for where Visual Studio takes the template from when it creates a new version of the applicationHost config then you can look here   C  Program Files  x86  IIS Express config templates PersonalWebServer   This happens a lot if you are often working on multiple branches of the same project and pressing  debug  in a lot of them  Making an edit here will ensure that edit propagates to any new project solution folders that get created   Answer indirectly came from this answer

The configuration file is called applicationhost config  It s stored here   My Documents   IIS Express   config  usually  but not always  one of these paths will work     userprofile  documents iisexpress config applicationhost config  userprofile  my documents iisexpress config applicationhost config   Update for VS2019 If you re using Visual Studio 2019  check this path      solutionDir   vs  projectName  config applicationhost config   Update for VS2015     credit   Talon  If you re using Visual Studio 2015-2017 check this path      solutionDir   vs config applicationhost config   In Visual Studio 2015  you can also configure which applicationhost config file is used by altering the  lt UseGlobalApplicationHostFile gt true false lt  UseGlobalApplicationHostFile gt  setting in the project file  eg  MyProject csproj    source  MSDN forum

To come full circle and include all versions of Visual Studio   Myster originally stated that   Pre Visual Studio 2015 the paths to applicationhost config were    userprofile  documents iisexpress config applicationhost config  userprofile  my documents iisexpress config applicationhost config   Visual Studio 2015 2017 path can be found at   credit   Talon     solutionDir   vs config applicationhost config   Visual Studio 2019 path can be found at   credit   Talon     solutionDir   vs config   ProjectName  applicationhost config   But the part that might get some people is that the project settings in the  sln file can repopulate the applicationhost config for Visual Studio 2015    credit   Lex Li   So  if you make a change in the applicationhost config you also have to make sure your changes match here     solutionDir  ProjectName sln   The two important settings should look like   Project   XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX       ProjectName    ProjectPath      XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX     and  VWDPort    Port     What is important here is that the two settings in the  sln must match the name and bindingInformation respectively in the applicationhost config file if you plan on making changes   There may be more places that link these two files and I will update as I find more links either by comments or more experience
