Connecting VS.NET to existing ASP.NET web

Hi all,

Very Basic Question here.

I can create new ASP.NET sites using VS.NET 2003 on my server, but for some reason I can't figure out how to connect to an existing web, when there isn't already a solution or project file. In the old Visual Studio 6, you could create a new solution, connect to an existing server, and "download" all the existing code into your new solution. How do I do that in VS.NET 2003?

In particular, I'm trying to connect to SharePoint Portal Server 2003, so that I can modify some of the server controls...I can create a new subweb, but I want to connect to the default web on a given port. For example: \\fooWeb:81

My portal responds fine to HTTP requests on that port and UNC path, and SharePoint seems to be installed and working just fine.

Thanks in Advance,
Mike

Easiest method: Double click on the .csproj file on the web server and save
as a new project.

In cases where you do not have this option, there is a "Create project in
existing folder" project type that you can use. Specify an URL instead of a
folder and then include the files in your new project in VS.NET.
