Hi<BR><BR>Having trawled the help files and the net for the last couple of days I still haven't managed to find a simple answer to the following.<BR><BR>"How do I copy a Visual Studio.NET ASP.NET project from one machine to another?"<BR><BR>I have a working application on my machine that I need to get working on another developers machine that he can modify in VS.NET but we just can't seem to do it :-(<BR><BR>Thanks in advance<BR><BR>RichardHi Richard,<BR><BR>I have done this by copying the files that are in the folder under wwwroot in your IIS folder (usually inetpub) - making sure you get all your required bin folders etc to a CD. Then...<BR><BR>On the second machine (with VS.NET installed) create a new blank project with the same name as on the first machine, then navigate down to your IIS folder again and just drop in your copied folder - overwriting any allready there.<BR><BR>Simply do a refresh inside VS.NET and the project should magically appear...<BR><BR>I realise this is probably a bit of a schoolboy bodge and there is probably a "Migrate Project" button somewhere but that is for other, more knowledgeable people to point out.<BR><BR>Good Luck<BR><BR>DanThanks Dan<BR><BR>I'll give that a go if I can't find an "official" way of doing it, which I haven't managed to find so far!<BR><BR>Cheers<BR><BR>RichardI did a bit more delving - if you open the visual studio project file in a text editor, all that is there basically is the path to the web applicationon the sever you are developing - i.e. http://localhost/WebApplication1 , and then some stuff about the debug/compile mode you are in. Any files you drop into the web app folder automatically enter in your project. <BR><BR>So migration can be just drag 'n' drop!!!<BR><BR>Dan Pollitt
