    Hi everybody, can WebMatrix use an existing ASP.NET project made by Visual Studio ? I haven't found any clue on the official pages, neither any easy way in WebMatrix UI. Thanks to all in advance. Callixte.[^]

      Don't take my word for it but AFAIK VS.NET and WebMatrix project/solution files are not compatible. When I tried way back when I simply deleted all my VS.NET solution files and then created a new project with WebMatrix. Then copied the code files into the WebMatrix project. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?

The ASP.NET team's reasearch showed that a good number of developers found the project system a barrier to adoption. WebMatrix simply uses the concept of a folder to represent a project, so to add a file to a project, you simply copy the file into the folder. Once a project reaches a certain level of complexity, a full, robust project system is pretty beneficial, but for small scale stuff, a file based system works very nicely. To answer your question however, no, there's know way I know of you use a VS.NET project in WebMatrix, you will simply have to point WebMatrix at the folder holding all the files. David
