What properties do I need to apply to a PHP Web Project so when I select Release and Run it, it will work properly on a localhost server (IIS based)/ MySQL?
I've been going crazy for days trying to adjust these properties so I can get it to work, but it just won't. The code works fine in Netbeans but I need Visual Studio because this Web Project will be linked to a Silverlight project.
ANY help is greatly appreciated..

If you want to use IIS, go to the project properties->debug and choose IIS instead of the built-in web server.

Could you please make sure you run VS.Php as admin when you configure IIS?
ihs says:
Yep, running as admin...When I say "use vs default CGI" during IIS setup it gives error.....Then I say create new CGI, it does it fine, then I F5 the project, it gets stuck at "Connecting..." again...
Do I need to change something in IIS?
ihs says:
OK, IIS is setup and I can write simple code like- echo "this is php.." ; and that will run correctly but when I use a code with a MySQL connection, I keep getting this error:

I enabled fastcgi handling in IIS manager thinking it'll fix it but no avail....This is seriously going to give me a heart attack soon...Thanks for your help so far and please continue to help.
(PS: the code with the mysql connection has been tested outside the vsPHP environment and it works)

You should use your PHP environment instead of using VS.Php one. All you need to do is enable Xdebug in your php.ini file and you'd be good to go.
zend_extension_ts="c:\program files (x86)\jcx.software\VS.Php\php 5.2\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Module Settings ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
[XDebug]
xdebug.idekey = vsphp
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_host = 127.0.0.1
xdebug.remote_port = 7870
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
Make sure that if you are using Php 5.3 runtime, change the path to the version of XDebug for Php 5.3

Thanks for all your help, you have been very supportive.
Turns out, something odd was happening with my PC (don't ask what...) and after a reformat (yes, that intense!), everything is working fine :)
