Hi, Learning and using Microsoft Technologies (ASP.Net using C#) after 5 yrs of Java n C++ experience but struck at the opening point only!! I have to open a web project of C# - ASP.Net but at the begigning itself it says that as it is a web based project it has to be opened using a URL. I don't know where i should deploy the project before i can open it (able to guess that it shd be somewhere in inetpub inside wwwroot directory). Unable to make out how to proceed further. Can somebody help me out by telling what all settings are required (In IIS or inetpub or anywhere) so that i can view the project (i repeat it is ASP.Net project, using C#). Please advise. thks.

Actually you don't have to create the virtual directory, as VS.NET will do it for you. Just give your project a path similar to http://localhost/YourProject Default settings of IIS should work fine.

create a virtual directory in IIS and and from the VS IDE open the project as URL then type the url(//localhost/) then project will open. check the link for creating virtual directoru in IIS http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/standard/cl_as_createvdir.asp Ludmal. www.ludmal.8m.com
