Hopefully a simple question. I have an asp.net web app project with source code that is physically on a shared drive. I know I could move the whole project off the shared drive, but that causes me other problems, so let's focus on this one. ;)

The issue at hand is that while I have changed the Output folder to be a local location, solving all my problems with doing normal debugging, I have need of running and debugging the app on IIS as well, since it's a Facebook app and I need to step through facebook's hits against it while testing new features.

Apparently, when you run an app in IIS from Visual Studio, it reads the files from the project location, and does not respect the Output folder setting. This is a problem, because regardless of my permissions settings it does not want to read the web.config file.
