interdev_programming thread: Connect existing web app only shows Root Web


Message #1 by "Jon" <consultcc@a...> on Thu, 19 Sep 2002 19:27:52
Jon,

I don't believe you'll be able to see any "existing" applications that were
not created with VI6. 

What I normally have to do when I want to use an existing web application
(one that is in my default web site as shown in MMC at
c:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc) is to create a new web project in VI6 and
give it the same or similar name to one I want to connect to. Then after the
project opens, I right click on the project and add existing items by
browsing to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\nameofapp and add all the .HTM, .ASP, etc.
files. Then after I save the project (solution), it will appear as an
application.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Bob

Web


Hi,

You may recall my post on getting VI to allow me to connect to my server 
in order to create a new project.  Well, I'm happy to report that I'm half 
way there!  

I removed all the filters for the server (I had a bunch: UrlScan, 
Compression, pwsdata, md5filt, fpexedll.dll) and now I can connect to the 
server.

However, I cannot see a list of the web applications.  When I click on the 
Connect to an existing web application, all VI shows is <root web> in the 
drop down box.  

Yet I can connect to my project by opening up a browser and typing:

http://servername/projectname

Any ideas?

 Thanks again!

  -Jon
