Is not a valid virtual path

Hi all,

today I tried to migrate a website built with framework 1.1 and VS2003 to
framework 2.0 and VS2005.
When I try to build the site using VS2005, I receive this error message (and
the build fails):
'/sitename:8080/' is not a valid virtual path

Notice that:
1) my site has the following address --> http://sitename:8080
2) VS2003 didn't ever generate this error

Thanks for your help, regards

No, but I found a workaround.
I assigned one more IP address to my web server and I created a new web site
using that address.
In this way it was possible to use the default port (80).

After a few hours of trying everything I found the solution:

In the project properties for the web site, under the MSBuild options,
change the Output Folder path, removing the port number.

Cheers,

Sorry everyone, turns out that this didn't solve the problem. Somehow the
build settings were changed when I changed the output folder (although I
don't remember touching them), and the website build was disabled, although
another project was still enabled, thus totally deceiving me. I'm still
stuck. I cannot use Federico's workaround, unfortunetely.

If anyone has a solution, please help!

When I was creating an ASP.NET 2.0 web site on a site on a remote server not on port 80 I was getting the error '\server:port\' is not a valid virtual path. This does not happen on my local server (which uses port numbers other than 80). I fixed it by adding a DNS entry and defining the website with this host header name and having the site on port 80.

Hi friends I was in the need to find a sort of "definitive" :) solution to transform a virtual path such as "~/MyDir/MyFile into a full web address. In particular I needed it * within web services *. I would like to be informed that the framework provides a function to do that, but for now I am missing it.

....error when trying to build a project on a port other than 80 (on a remote server). Happens with VS 2005. I've google the hell out of this and I find people with the same issue, but never any solution. Has anyone been able to do this successfully, WITHOUT getting an alternate IP address for the box? TIA.

Best way I can think to describe this is through an example. I have a virtual directory, let's call it "MyVirtualDirectory" that maps to \\MyServer\Shared. I have a path that is \\MyServer\Shared\SomeDirectory\SomeFile.txt. I need to convert this path to a virtual path with the virtual directory name. The result I'm after would be: MyVirtualDirectory\SomeDirectory\SomeFile.txt

Server.MapPath("~/page.aspx") returns the physical file path based on the specified virtual path. Is there any reverse method to get the virtual path based on the physical path (both pathes belong to the same web application)? Usually I do in this way: virtualFilePath = physicalFilePath.Replace(physicalRootDirectoryPath,"~/") Perhaps, is there standard inbuilt method?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
