[RESOLVED] ASP.NET application compiling error

[samcollins_2k]

My application is C# ASP.NET as delivered from our outsourcer (projects is spread in different folders with varies SUO and SLN files). When loading the code in Visual Studio 2005, it echoes an error as 'folder is not configured as web application'. Next, I created a virtual directory in IIS. It now throws up an error 'Web server is not configured as debugging mode'. Some articles and postings suggest that my folder is not configured as a web application. I changed the property and created an application field. When i now compile without debug, (Ctrl + F5), it says 'Server Application Unavailable'. Any help or ideas will be appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks Chitra for your reply. The problem is solved. I followed the following steps:

1> Copy the necessary folders in the Inetpub folder
2> Make only that folder as a web application and not the complete virtual folder
3> Compile the code and it gives me the desired output.

Hope this helps some one else.
