How to make a copy of a developing VS05 application to another machine?

I'm working on a VB 05 project. I need to copy the project from my home's
development machine to the PC at work so I can work in both places. I was
able to do this with VS2003 but always got error "... appname.vbproj
application not installed!" with 05' projects.
I have VS05 installed in both machines.

Thanks

I don't have the need for source control since I'm the only one who will be
working on this project.
Is there any other option for this?
Thanks

I would install some sort of source control... take a look at SourceGear
Vault. I believe their 1 user version is free.

I personally use source control even tho I am the only developer on certain
projects. I find it handy to be able to roll back, or compare code changes
with previous versions.
IMHO I would have thought this was an ideal suggestion by Spam Cathcher if
you are wokring on code stored in two locations.

I'll use source control if I have to.

However, isn't this something that we can handle from within VS2005 itself
instead of using an add-on for such a simple requirement?

Thanks for the advice.

Bill,

Yes, start and keep the project on a flash drive. Then it is completely
portable to any development machine you use.

Of course, as with everything, regularly backup the flash drive.

If it's a desktop project then I'm not sure what your problem is in
the first place. I have a VS2005 VB application that I move between
home and work all the time. One main project (desktop app) and two
supporting class library (DLL) projects. The solution has all three in
it, and each project lives in a separate directory under My
Documents\Visua l Studio 2005\Projects. There are also a few third
party controls involved as well as the ReportViewer.

SourceSafe isn't a bad idea; I should be using it; but it certainly
isn't needed to move a project. A thumb drive should suffice.

Why not try starting a new project and use Add Existing Item to keep
adding parts of the solution until you figure out what is missing. It
sounds like something in the project is not being copied.

I got this advice from Spam Catcher recently. I'm inclined to go with
sourcegear vault. I'm mainly working by myself so I don't really need fancy
features regarding source control. However, I would like to know if there
are other options beside VSS and Sourcegear. I'm looking for user friendly
implementation and operation, not sophistication.

In sourcegear site, there's an eval binaries that youc an download. Do I
need to download both server and client components?

Thanks

The flash drive idea is good - but source control will allow you to sync
your project amongst many computers as needed (even tho you're the only
developer).

P.S. if you do go with source control, avoid SourceSafe - SourceGear Vault
is a much better product (http://www.sourcegear.com).

I am trying to COPY, not deploy, ASP.NET application. I know that asp.net application can be copied without any problems by using "Copy Project" menu item, but only if it doesn't have any Crystal Reports files. Unfortunately, my app has few crystal reports included any somehow I get "missing keycode" error. I do have to mention that I don't have any problems deploying the app, since I provide CR merge modules and License Key.
