I am trying for many days to get the sample ThePhileVB.sln to successfully open. I think I got the connectionstring but now I have another error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The default Web acces mode for this project is to file share, but the project folder at 'http//localhost/ThePhileVB' cannot be opened with the path 'C:\wrox\ThePhileVB'

The error returned was:

Unable to open Web project 'ThePhileVB'. The file path 'C:\wrox\ThePhileVB' does not correspond to the URL 'http//localhost/ThePhileVB'. The two need to map the to the same server location. HTTP Error 404: Object Not Found

What would you like to do?

Retry using a different file share path

The README file tells me to store the WROX folder containing ThePhileVB.sln on C: drive and just make it a Web shared folder.

I think what is going on is that the Solution file wants to look at 'http//localhost/ThePhileVB' but because it is stored instead in 'C:\wrox\ThePhileVB' --- VS.NET doesn't like this.

The README file isn't really detailed in explaining how to do this.

So lost.
Thank you.:(

You need to read the documentation that came with the code download. You have not made the folder in c:\wrox\theFileVB a web folder and thus it cannot be seen. You have to do this before you build the app. Read the documentation, its there.

I did make the C:Wrox a web folder and when I opened IIS -> Default Web site it shows Wrox as a web folder.
I made it into a virtual folder but VS.Net won't detect it.

What else can I do?

That is what is so confusing.

Got it THANKS.
