This one application that I have migrated asks me to convert to a
"web
site project" every time I open the solution. The application was
built using Visual Studio 2003 and uses the same layout as all of the
other applcations that we have developed. Each time I open the
solution, I get the warning to convert to web site so I right click
on
the web project, choose "convert to web application" and save the
solution (because I want it to remain in the same format) hoping that
it will stop asking me to convert to a web site. But as I mentioned
before everytime I open the solution it asks me again.
Any ideas on what I should do to get it to accept it as a web
application?
I now simply add an entry for 127.0.0.l and a website name into the hosts
file and load my websites in a browser on demand [1]. I keep my naming
simple as the names I use to design and develop the website are not needed
once a website is deployed but still remain functional and a fast way to
keep running the same "solution" on my development machine. As I code I
simply reload the page in the browser or let the page do a PostBack. Poof!
Instant efficiency.
This works so much better for me than the crippled and buggy development
server built into Visual Studio and is the only reason I would recommend
anybody begin using Vista to run IIS7.
[1] example of using hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost # default
127.0.0.1 css1 # Nested MasterPage templates
// request in browser on local development machine resolved by IIS7:
http://css1
Poof! Instant efficiency.
