visual studio sloution file for a website and root is not as i want it

Question

okay...im really puzzled with this.

I want to create a regular asp.net webforms website (nota web application project). i also want a solution file associated with the website which when double-clicked opens visual studio with the website loaded in solution explorer.

i did this by creating a blank solution "project" then adding new website to this.

however the problem is when i hit debug, the page loads up at http://localhost:2118/temp/Default.aspx i want it to just be http://localhost:2118/Default.aspx

how can i do this??

also related to this, what is the standard stucture of a website with a .sln solution file. should the solution file exist in the same dir as web.config?

thanks

Answer 1

Update Open Site Properties, "Web" tab. Then, select following options: Radio "Use VS Development Server" Radio "Specific port" - 2118 Texbox "Virtual Path" = "/"

SLN file should be upper one level:

SolutionNameFolder -slnfile -WebSiteNameFolder --web.config --website contents
