You can now run the application. Make sure you set the UI tier as the Startup Project before running. On the first run you should run in debug mode since the Service tier uses the ASP .Net Development Server on port 21000 (so that you are not required to have IIS installed on your computer). Just press F5 or the debug button and the Service tier server will start automatically:
