VS2005 WebSite Project problem

Question

I have downloaded a .net source code from the Internet.

The source code has 2 projects.

First is a Windows class lib.

Second is a WeSite project whose name is [http://localhost/WebDemoCS].

When I run the Web Site, VS2005 searches that location and finds nothing. So the WebSite is not run.

How can I change this setting so that I can run it from VS2005's development web server.

Answer 1

Right click the Web Site Project, select "Property Pages," go to "Start Options," and under "Server," select "Use default Web server." Also, make sure that the web site is set as the StartUp project for the solution.

Edit: try making a new Web Site Project in VS2005 and adding all the contents from the original project in.

Answer 2

Sounds like you want to convert a web site project to a web application project?

Give this a try

Answer 3

Don't use an included solution. Instead, make your own by:

1. Open the class library project.
2. Open the web site as a Web Site project in VS2005. When prompted, select File System to find the web site.

It sounds like the solution you are using is opening the web site from a Local IIS store (which was the only option in VS2003).
