VS2005 and web projects

[Tonya]

Bob,

Thanks for the work around. I agree, your suggestion of not creating a web project first will probably eliminate a lot of issues. I will probably be doing more research in regards to web projects in VS 2005 and create a KB article with relevant information.

Thanks!

Tonya

Hello folks,

Just for your information, VSNET2005 always creates a *.sln file. It's just hidden with web projects.

For example, i have a project called "ProjetBesner" a web project (web site in vs.net 2005) it is.

The solution is located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Alex\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ProjetBesner\ProjetBesner.sln

The way i work with vault is very simple, i put this .sln file in vault and voilà !

There is an easier solution to this. In Visual Studio 2005 there is an option that displays the solution also when it is a web project. It can be found at: Tools->Options->Projects & Solution->Always show solution.

Turn that option ON, and then create an empty web project. In the solution explorer you will see a solution above the website. Right-click on that solution and choose "add solution to source-control".

This way the project gets completely copied including all .sln files and it can be opened from the Source Control without any problems.
