Visual Studio 2015. IIS Server stop button is not visible

I am new to .net Platform. I just downloaded Visual Studio 2015
I created my first .net core web application
Whenever I press F5 to start the IIS server, It shows stop button
Whenever I press Ctrl + F5 to start the IIS Server, It doesn't show the stop button
I have no idea how to stop it. is there any shortcut. I even tried shift + f5
Please help me out
You can only stop it when you start debugging (aka F5). Control+F5 is start without debugging.
You cannot stop IIS in both cases. You just close the browser, which without the stop button you can manually.
In Addition to Lex Li's answer, you can stop running site in IIS express like this-
Go to notification are on taskbar > right click on IIS express icon > go to your running site (under View Sites option) > choose 'Stop Site'

How do I use IIS (not express) with Visual Studio 2015?

I have an ASP .NET web site project that was developed in Visual Studio 2012. We just migrated the project to Visual Studio 2015.
I've googled around and I keep reading about a "Create Virtual Directory" button and a "Use Local IIS" option but neither are present. In the project properties page all I see are the options "Use default Web server" and "Use custom server" along with a "Base URL" text field.
I'm running Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10 Pro.
What am I missing?
Have you enabled IIS in Windows Features?
Press the Windows Key and type Windows Features.
Select the first entry Turn Windows Features On or Off.
Make sure the box next to IIS is checked. If it is not checked, check it and it will install everything you need. Be patient as this could take a few minutes.
IIS should now be accessible from Control Panel > Administrative Tools
You should now be able to go to the properties page of you application and change your website setting from IIS Express to Local IIS

How do I prevent Visual Studio 2015 from launching a browser after publishing an asp.net application?

I am working on a site with a publishing profile that pushes the site to a remote host. After publishing I get a new browser window that navigates to the newly published site. This is ok in most circumstances but I am in a situation where I can't allow that last step to occur, I simply want to tell visual studio not to show me the website after publishing. I've checked all the publishing settings that I can find but haven't found any option to control this. Anyone have any ideas?
Does this information from Visual Studio 2013 still hold true for 2015?
http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/deployment/visual-studio-web-deployment/deploying-to-iis
I can't check it myself, but essentially it says that in the 'connection' tab of the deploy dialog, the Destination URL setting isn't required. When Visual Studio finishes deploying the application, it automatically opens your default browser to this URL. If you don't want the browser to open automatically after deployment, leave this box blank.
Do you want to try that?
Update for Visual Studio 2019:
In the "Publish" page, look for "Configuration". On the right side, click the Pencil Icon.
In the next dialog, open the "Connection" tab, and empty the field "Destination URL".

Sharepoint 2007 explorer view not working and Connect to Outlook menu not displaying

We have a SharePoint 2007 installation and I am running on a Windows 7 machine with Outlook 2010 and Internet explorer 11.
When I am in the "Shared Documents" the "Connect to Outlook" menu item was not displayed and selecting the "explorer view" from the view menu on the right would give me the following error:
your client does not support opening this list with windows explorer
This was true regardless of which browser I used (IE 11, Chrome).
I searched all over and tried multiple things "WebDAV client", "WebClient Service disabled" etc.
None of the solved the problem.
If I signed myself in on another machine I could see the menus so I suspected it may be the browser version. I tried opening developer tools and switched to IE7 on the emulation page and Voila! it worked!!
I still cant bring myself to say I like IE7 :-)
