Just getting started with the book, and had a question about Web Site Projects.

I believe I followed the instructions correctly for the Try it Out on page 38, however, whenever I close Visual Studio, or try to close solution, or save all, Visual Studio prompts me to save an .sln file (localhost_57174.sln specifically).

I thought Web Site projects didn't use .sln files?

Or did I mix-up the difference solution (.sln) files and project (.vbproj or .csproj) files?

Hi there,

Web Site Projects don't use project (*proj) files. However, Visual Studio may still create a SLN file to keep track of where your site is located. Simply save it anywhere you like and you reopen the site later bu opening that sln file.

Cheers,

Imar
