The title pretty much says it all, I’ve got a ‘web site’ that was built and checked into vss and to open it we are going to file > open > web site, and picking the folder. This is the technique that gets you a project but without a cs/vb proj file.
Is there any easy way to convert this to an ‘ASP.NET Web Application’ project, complete with csproj (or vbproj)?
Also, this is in VS2008
Here’s a good write up on it from Scott Guthrie:
The biggest problem that you’ll run into is if you use the membership profile class. It’s autogenerated for you with a web site project, but you’ll have to generate your own with a web application project. Scott’s guide will help you through that.
Good luck!!
[EDIT] – I should mention that I had to do the same thing (convert a C# web site to a C# web project) and used Scott’s steps to do this. Everything was very simple except for the Profile road bump…but even that wasn’t bad at all.
