cant open vbProj web app when copied to different virtual director

[Rich]

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.vbproj.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 throughMyProject.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.
