Hi Dave,
I think the problem is that for ASP.NET Web project, it must be hosted in
IIS's virutal dir(configured as an application) rather than put in a normal
folder (just as a winform project). As far as to vs.net 2003, the IIS is
still necessary, in VS.NET2005, there'll provide a test server (in
VS.NETIDE ) so that we don't need to reply on IIS.
Currently when we want to move a web project from one server to another.
We'd better following the following means:
1. Create a new IIS virutal directory and configure it as "Application"
(properites in IIS management console).
2. Copy all the project's files to that new created vritual dir on the new
server.
3. Each asp.net web project will contains a webinfo file.
ProjectName.csproj.webinfo, you can use notepad to open it and there'll
contains the web project's url info such as :
<VisualStudioUNCWeb>
<Web URLPath =
"http://localhost/WebApplication1/WebApplication1.csproj" />
</VisualStudioUNCWeb>
be sure to modify it to the correct value on your new server . Then you can
click the project file (*.csproj or *.vbproj ) to let the new VS.NET ide to
open it and convert it.
Also, here are some kb articles discussing on the similiar problem:

Hope also helps. Thanks.
