| I apologize if this post is off-topic. I haven't had any luck anywhere else. I'm attempting to create a new asp.net web application project in Visual Studio.Net. I keep getting the error message: The UNC Share \\myservername\wwwroot$\myvirtualdirectory does not exist or you do not have access.Here is the scenario. I created a site directory in the wwwroot folder under IIS on my testing server. In IIS I created a virtual directory pointing to that folder. I open Visual Studio.Net which is on a seperate PC (my workstation) and try to create the new asp.net web application project and I get the above mentioned error.I know the directory is there. I have permissions set. I can access the directory through MyNetworkPlaces.Can anyone offer any help? The only thing I could think of is that Visual Studio.Net will not create a project over a UNC share? I thought I could do that. So, I'm lost.Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.-D- |

| Delete that virtual directory in IIS, then delete the folder.Open VS.net and create a new web project. It should create the project on your local machine in your local InetPub dir.Once you have the site built with all the pages etc (or even just one page to test with) click on the Project in the solution explorer and then click the Copy Project button at the top of the solution explorer. You could also use the menu's at the top and select Project--> Copy Project. Once you do this, it will ask you for a destination URL. Enter in the destination like this:http://mytargetserver/myprojectnameSelect Frontpage as the Web Access MethodSelect Only files needed to run this application if you are deploying to a production webserver or to anyplace where you don't want to deploy the uncompiled source.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must.

| Thanks for the help Michael. I take it that I need IIS installed locally in order to develop asp.net web apps in Visual Studio.Net. I cannot use IIS running on a server connected over a small LAN? Thanks again.-D- |

| D, I think there is a way to do what you are trying, but I've never done it that way. I'm pretty sure that you need IIS local to make it work. Besides, getting all of the debugging features from the IDE is going to be harder when working with a remote machine.Get Windows 2000 Pro or higher or Windows XP Pro and get IIS installed locally. After that, follow the instructions I gave you and you'll be set! If you don't have IIS installed when you installed VS.net, then you might need to rerun setup to get ASP.net installed into IIS. There's a command line way to do it as well if you search around on Google. I think its like aspnet_iis.exe -i or something.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must.
