Branching Web Projects in VS 2003

[davidhurst]

Is there documentation on branching a Web project and binding to the branch? I can create the branch in Vault , but when I try to open it in VS2003 from Source Control and specify a working directory on the same server the original project resides on, I get an error: "Opening this project from source control requires you to specify a valid http Web server URL for the project."

and .vbproj.webinfo files in the branch location to reflect the branched location of the project.

David - Did you ever figure this one out - I need to do the exact same thing.

Thanks

You'll need to edit the files noted in my previous reponse to reflect the new location of the project, after you create the branch and download to the new location. We decided not to branch at this point for other reasons, so, that's the best I remember about how far I got with it.
