ASP.NET with VS 2008 How to Run Root "/" with Local Web Server

I want to use the built-in web server for VS 2008 and have it run my web-site project as the top level root "/". Instructions for VS 2005 can be found at:

http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/12/19/tip-trick-how-to-run-a-root-site-with-the-local-web-server-using-vs-2005-sp1.aspx

My problem is with step 3 of the instructions. When the the web-site project node is selected, right click never gives me an option to select a property-grid like that shown under step 3. Nor could I find another way in the menu or tool bar to get the property-grid.

I don't know if the UI difference I'm seeing has to do with me using VS 2008 and the instructions are for VS 2005 or what?

How do I get the web-site property-grid for VS 2008, or is there an alternative way to get the root setup I want?

+1 A:

Click the website, and then press "F4" to bring up the Properties interface. You should see the Virtual Path there.

Duh! Obviously the instructions were referring to the standard VS property window. I kept thinking they were referring to a pop-up property window some MS applications have via right click. Thanks for clarifying this.

VS2008 does actually have a property pages popup for websites, but it doesnt contain the property you need
