Solution Integration

I have read the articles on SQL integration, but I am trying to find some information on how the forum actually integrates into existing .NET solutions.  Do you just create a /forum directory and dump a bunch of files?  Does ASPPlayground.NET using your own Master Pages? 
 
I have an existing ASP.net 3.5 solution and I'd like to just drop a forum into a new directory and go from there, but I'm having trouble locating these specifics on the forum.
 
Thanks.

    Hi pinch,

    With regards to installation, you just create a folder and "dump" the files. It xcopy deployment without having to use Visual Studio unless you want to customize it.

    The only thing is that the forum folder needs to be marked as an Application because we have our own web.config and bin folder.

    And yes, the software uses our own master pages which can be customized to fit your site.

    In regards to configuring the directory as a web application, how does this impact debugging with the built-in web server for Visual Studio?  When developing locally will I have to publish to a local IIS in order to test the forum or can I just use the built-in VS web server?

    Please always use IIS for local development purposes.

    It is easier and you don't have to publish, but just create an app on the IIS for the forum directory (where unzip the files) and you can edit the files directly there. Just make sure you open the application like this:
