Hi All,
I am having major difficulties getting a solution set up for development with multiple web sites in VS 2003.
I have been developing with vs 2005 for some time on XP Prof.
Now i have to take up a solution in 2003, but the sites need to be on the root directory, ie a web site rather than a virtual directory.
I can only have one site up at a time with xp.

So I have the sites on a server.

Now when I try to open the sites I am asked for the project file, which I point to via a shared file.

The IDE complains that they are not on the same server.
How is this done??

Outside a few exceptions, all of my sites (production and development) are hosted on servers. While I never open anything directly from the production server, I open all of my web projects directly from my development server. In my secnario tho, my project file is stored on the dev server along with all of the project files.

I am not quite sure what you are asking in "How is this done", are you asking how to open projects on remote servers?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I have managed to access the sites remotely now using mapped drive instead of shared folder.

I guess the problem now is how to open more than one site in one solution from one server.
I get the error message:
 
I have a suspicion that the previous dev company may have had these sites all on different virtual server, but I am not sure.

Really I'd like to have this set up on my machine rather than remotely because I develop away from the office and need to be able to take my work in, but VPN's become an issue with my client and are too slow.

Do I have to have the sites each in a different solution?

The projects share a lot of stuff from library projects, and I was hoping to build all at the same time.
If it is possible to do this I will install ms server on my machine and do that.

Thanks for you time

You can have multiple projects per Solution but they will compile down into their own DLL's and the same rule will apply: You can only have one Web project pointing to the same Web in the same solution.

Thanks, I was afraid of that.
I think I may be missing something with the project set up.
I will get some sleep and look again tomorrow.
Thanks again for your time.
