Unable to get the project file from the Web Server

Hello, I'm compiling an asp.net application and having troubles. I keep
getting the errors:
"Unable to open Web project" for the web web services
and "Unable to get the project file from the Web server" for the web
project.

I believe I'm getting this because I don't have IIS pointing to the
application. However, I'm doing this on purpose because this is a test
server and I don't want to touch IIS.

I'm not using VS.Net directly, but I believe I had the same problem using
devenv.exe. (I'm actually using MSBuild from www.gotdotnet.com which I
compiled for the 1.1 .Net Framework). I think the same issues would
apply.

Is there a technical reason why I need IIS pointing to the application? Is
there a way around this? This is very frustrating!

Thank you in advance!!!

An ASP.NET project has to be in an IIS application. If you have access to
another system for testing, try using that - even Win2K or XP pro will do.

Is it easy to change the URL where it's pointing. Currently it points to
http://localhost/MySite. Can I easily change the URL to be
http://localhost/MyCompileSite?? This way, I can compile it in
http://localhost/MyCompileSite, then deploy it to the other site after I
know it compiles correctly. Any suggestions?

The problem started when the Working Folder for a project was somehow set to the folder of another project. I set the correct working folder in VSS and deleted the .vbproj files that had been created in the wrong folder on the hard drive. Before I discovered these files, .NET kept trying to create a new project with _1 following the project name. Deleting those files corrected that problem. I deleted the Virtual Directory, rebooted, and...

Hi everybody, My problem seems a bit clichè but I could not work around. Well I read lots of MSDN papers and discussions, but my problem is a bit different from them.

The question is where does it get this file path from ? Just to add some background, i have copied the...
