    Ok so part of my job is maintaining some old code that is kept in sourcesafe. So I've 'get latest version' to where I want it on my harddrive (the site portion in D:\Websites to mimick how the production server is setup and the libraries/sln file in D:\Working because its convenient to stick them there). In of the two projects I maintain I just clicked the .sln file and told it where the site was on the internet (localhost/dict) and everything works fine. However, on the second one I click on the sln file, point it to where site part is (localhost/hop) and it says that "One or more of the project's destination paths are invalid. To open the solution, specify a valid path for each project". Now, there is only one project in the solution and I have verified that I am typing the path correctly (http://localhost/hop) and I can get there from IE and FireFox, though the page doesn't run because it hasn't been compiled. Oddly, it didn't give me this error message first, the first time I tried it complained about the path being different then C:\INetPub\wwwroot\hop.Site so I figured that I would just remove the site project and then readd it from its current location. So I went to "add existing project from the web", and put in http://localhost/hop and it shows up blank. I've had this problem several times and have never been able to figure out why sometimes when I chose Open project from web it shows me the .csproj file and sometimes it acts like the site doesn't exist. -- modified at 16:06 Wednesday 28th December, 2005 Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect 2003 btw

      Have you tried modifying the path from localhost to 127.0.0.1? Some times I have run into the same issue when I take my work home...I always thought that it was Microsoft's way of controlling how much time I spent working at home :wtf: .... string Beautiful; Beautiful = "ignorant"; label1.Text = "The world is full of " + Beautiful +" people."; Why is common sense such an un-common comodity?

        Oh, progress! When I put in http://127.0.0.1/ it shows me the foldername hop, but when I open it... shows up as empty. How can this be so hopelessly broken? It creates places in "My Network Places" and when I go there the folder is empty still... I can put stuff in wwwroot and see it, but I want to keep my stuff elsewhere with a virtual directory in IIS, but it seems as though VS.NET 2003 does not like virtual directories?

          Well, I suppose it really boils down to what is it you are really trying to do. It seems we may be missing part of the story... In my understanding...(which isn't much) everything VS (asp.net) does is relative to the root directory of the default instance of IIS. With that said, I'm sure you can modify that, but with varied results. Please explain what it is you have done, what you need, as well what it is you hope to accomplish in this, that way we can better assist you string Beautiful; Beautiful = "ignorant"; label1.Text = "The world is full of " + Beautiful +" people."; Why is common sense such an un-common comodity?
