If the project was created by someone else, and you just copied it's content to your PC, you must create a Virtual Directory in the IIS to point to that project. Then you will be able to load it from VS.NET.

Furthermore, the virtual directory must have browse permissions.

Thanks VLorz

You are correct, I just copied the content to my pc and I tried to open it. I have created Virtual directory in IIS and pointed to the project. But again there is problem I could open it in a different Virtual directory's name not with the same name as before.

Please let me know if have faced the simillar problem.

Thanks Again.

Hi:

Yes, more often than I'd like it...

When that happends, a dialog box appears asking to locate the fisical path where the application resides. Most of the times it works fine after setting it properly.

Bye.
