cant open vbProj web app when copied to different virtual director

Hello,

When I copy a VB web app from my workstation to my laptop (which has the
exact same software as the workstation) or to a different virtual directory
on the same workstation and then try to open the vbProj at this new location,
I get the error message that it can't open the app because some components
may be missing. If I create the same project at the new location from
scratch, it runs fine.

Is there a configuration or some trick that I can perform so that I can
open my vb web app at the new location without having to create it from
scratch? I have looked at the web.config file, global.asax, assemblyInfo,
but I don't see anything there to change. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich

Rich,

For me it is forever to much work to find out what is missing, therefore in
your situation I would create a new project on the laptop and copy all what
I created in the other project over that.

I thought, that you asked for a trick, I hope this one helps,

Thanks. This is what I have been doing, but it is a hassel. I was hoping
there was some method besides copying everything to a new project. I don't
think there is anything missing because if there was something missing, how
could I create the new project?

If a different virtual directory is the problem, you can edit
MyProject.vbpro j.webinfo in a text editor. Change the Web UrlPath to your
new path (it's pretty obvious when you open this file). On a few rare
occasions, I've had to pick throughMyProjec t.vbproj also and change the URL.
Very rare, though.

Note that these will be 'csproj' files if you're using C#.

Thanks. I will give that a try. I wonder if it would help if I were to also
load the Soap Toolkit sdk? I just downloaded Soap Toolkit 3.0. I will post
back with results.

Success!!! Thank you very much. Your suggestion did the trick!. I just
can't believe I never looked at the vbProj.webinfo file before. That was so
easy!

Thanks again,
Rich

Glad that worked. Took me a while to figure that out myself.

I have a big solution filled with a bunch of projects. I add a project to the solution (not adding any references mind you). Now, if I close down everything and try to just open that single project, just the vbproj file, not anything to do with the solution, it ends up loading the entire solution! Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it from doing it?
