Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I've been banging my head on this
one for a day now with no luck.
I ran into the IDE slowdown issue due to my newly roaming profile. In order
to correct it, I decided to follow the advice I've seen and rebuild my
project. This is an existing intranet web, built with Visual Interdev/Visual
Studio 6, but we are starting to transition to .NET and ASP.NET. The server
is Win2003, running Frontpage Server Extensions and all of the VS.NET
debugging components installed. I was able to get this project working in
VS.NET before, but now it just will not work.
So, I started out by going to File->New Project->Empty Web Project. The
server/project name is DEV, and the old .VBPROJ file has been deleted. I
name it, point it to the root of the server, it starts the process, goes
into "Merging Web server state" for about 15 minutes (it is a fairly big
site), then tells me that "A file with the name 'dev.vbproj' already exists.
Do you want to replace it?". No one else is using the site, and watching the
directory it is clear that it (VS.NET) just created that project file. So I
tell it to replace the file, and it fails with the following error:
"Unable to add '\\dev\d$\inetpub\wwwroot\dev.vbproj' to the project. Unable
to add file 'dev.vbproj'. The process cannot access the file because it is
being used by another process."
Stupid message - the process trying to overwrite the file is the process
that created it, and is using it. No matter how I try to create the project,
the same thing happens. Start out without a .vbproj file in place, VS.NET
creates it, "discovers" it, then fails to overwrite it. If I start with a
.vbproj in place, and it tells me "A project already exists" and won't even
try.
So, I figure "Hey, there's a project file, I'll just open that!" Sounds
obvious, but it fails as well. If I try a simple "Open Project", pointing to
the .vbproj file on the server, it first tells me "The project is not fully
trusted by the .NET runtime ...", then when I choose OK it says "The project
you are trying to open is a Web project. You need to open it by specifying
its URL path."
OK, so I try to specify the URL. I give it http://DEV, no luck, so I give it
http://DEV/DEV.VBPROJ, no luck. It keeps defaulting back to the file-mode
view (i.e. I have to go to dev\d$\inetpub\wwwroot\dev.vbproj), which gives
me the same "specify its URL path" message.
I have done all of this with VS.NET set to FPE mode, and to File Share mode.
Nothing at all seems to make a difference. This is absolutely asinine. This
should not be anywhere near this difficult, and the IDE keeps getting in the
way instead of helping. I've lost a day and a half to this BS nonsense, and
any help would be very welcome. Thanks,
Stephen
