open ASP.Net Project

[NareshKumar]

Hi all,

I'm using existing ASP.net project to make some enhancements which is secured by Visual source safe and in my system frontpage is installed. Now when i run the project file i get following error 'The project you are trying to open is a web project. You need to open it by specifying its URL path.' I also referred to help. In help i came to know that i may need to open the project file by using "Open project from web.. " from file menu. When i open like the same as mentioned still i'm not able to see the project file. one thing i for got tell. I had pasted the project folder into path "C:\Inetpub\www root\".

The project is developed in different server. Need to enhance the feature in my system which is using different server. :)

Please can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks and Regards,
Naresh Kumar

you need to create a virtual directory for it on your machine or try opening a project from source safe and set its working directory

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I had tried as you suggested, again the same problem. Because the thing is i doesn't have source safe.

Hi Naresh

I think u didnt copy project solution file. U told that was developed in another server then u have to copy the solution file from the server ( i mean u have to copy the file from the location my documents/Visual Studio Projects/<project name>.sln). otherwise that .sln file will be in the same project directory itself.

U told that u check that Virtual directory. Ensure that virtual directory is created or not. No need of visual source safe. its an just code protecting tools that all.

Also ensure that : Goto properties in virtual directory and check that in directory tab -> application name is created, if it created means just click the remove button and create it.

Hope u will get solution

Bye
