RE: Change Website from File to Http

Hello Gary,

For changing a "file" based ASP.NET 2.0 web project to http/IIS hosted web
project, you do not need to create a new project. What you need to do is
put your web application into IIS(in a certain application virtual
directory) and use VS 2005 to open that web project(through IIS/http path).
The detailed steps are as below:

1. In your server's IIS, create a new virtual directory and link it to your
original file web project's main directory(you can also use the "webshare"
tab in file explorer to link your web project folder into IIS). Make sure
the virtual directory is created as "application virtual directory" which
contains an application name.

2. After the virtual directory(link to your file project folder) has been
created, check the ASP.NET specific settings to make sure they suit ASP.NET
2.0 application. For example, the ASP.NET version number, the application
pool(make sure you use a separate application pool from other ASP.NET 1.x
web application).

3. After the IIS application virtual directory has been configured, you can
launch VS 2005 and open the web project from IIS as below:

** file --> open website...

** in dialog's left view, select "Local IIS" panel, in the right view,
select the application virtual directory you created above and open it.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
