Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance.  I have a few basic 

questions on using Visual Studio to build website.  I ahve a fairly 

strong "Classic ASP" background, usaing Notepad to develop, but want to 

make the jump.  Generally, could someone point me to some basic 

documentation "such as a "how-to" to develop a site from scratch.  I have 

checked the accompanying documentation, but it really doesn't address it 

in this fashion.  Also, I have two other questions:



1.  When you ask Visual Studio to start a new site, it creates a folder 

with the name of the project.  Generally, I set up my sites in folders 

called "webroot", with the default and other pages in that folder , but 

this isn't consistent with Visual Studio.  Any suggestions on configuring.

Hi Hugh,



I can't really help you with the first question, as I am still looking 

myself for some good and thorough "how to do it the right way" documents 

for an ASP.NET app with VS.NET.

The walk throughs are a bit too short in my opinion, and the sample sites 

will give you some good code, but not really good ideas on how to start / 

setup a project.



To answer your second question: simply type the name of the webserver in 

the "Location" box of the new project wizard. For example, if you type 

http://localhost it will create a new site in the root of the site, adding 

the files to inetpub\wwwroot, for example.
