[p4] Visual Studio 2002, Web Project and Perforce

[Elkins, Mark]

We had some problems with this when we started using Perforce with
VS.NET 2003.  The trick is to create a virtual directory pointing to the
location of the web project file with the SAME name as the web project
BEFORE you open the project in VS.NET for the first time.  When VS.NET
opens the project for the first time it will find the virtual directory
already created and pointing to the web project, so it will not try and
create a new one.  This trick will also allow you to put web projects
anywhere you want on you HDD, not just the wwwroot directory.

Hi,

I am trying (and failing) to retrieve a Visual Studio 2002 web project
from
Perforce using the method outlined in *
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note064.html*<http://www.perf
orce.com/perforce/technotes/note064.html>.
I have set my workspace up as described however when I get to step 4
under
"Opening Web projects from the depot" Visual Studio won't let me open
the
project under *http://localhost/projectname*
<http://localhost/projectname>rather it forces me to use a different
name, such as
*http://localhost/projectname_1* <http://localhost/projectname_1>.

Has anyone sucessfully got a Visual Studio Web Project to work with
Perforce?

Best regards

Ed
