RE: Help: Unable to open Web service project in a .net solution.



Hello CharlieBoy,

Welcome to the MSDN newsgroup.

From your description, I understand you have an .NET soluion which contains
an ASP.NET webservice project. It works well on some win 2000 machines,
however after you move the solution onto a windows 2003 machine, when
opening the solution, it report "Unable to read the project file xxx" error
against the ASP.NET project, correct?

Since your ASP.NET project has project file, I think you're developing
under vs 2003/.net framework 1.1. Based on my experience, such problem is
likely caused by some project or solution setting is corrupted or not
compatible with the new machine after movement. For general
troubleshooting, you can try the following things:


1. Compare the ASP.NET project's project file's content with the one on
win2000 machine to see whether the content are identical or have any
difference.

2. Since VS 2003 ASP.NET project is hosted in IIS, suggest him open the
"project.webinfo" file to check whether the web app url is correct. You can
exclude te project from that solution and test it individually.

3. Remove the project from the solution, create a new empty ASP.NET
webservice project on the win 2003 server (at the same location in IIS as
the original one) , after that copy the items into the new project and add
it into the solution.

In addition, I've found some other threads discussing on the similar issue
over public newsgroups. Some community members have suggested that we
delete the ".suo" file (of the solution) which contains some customization
setting of the whole soluion before open the solution. You can refer to the
following article to see whether it also helps:

e.html

Please feel free to let me know if the problem remains or there is any
other new finding.

Sincerely,
