subst and IIS on XP

Hi
Does anyone know why subst doesn't work with IIS on XP?
If I do

sub o: d:\myProj and look for o:\myProj then IIS just can't see it?

This is a very useful feature that I would miss if it can't be done anymore

Its subst, not sub.

And it works fine on XP.

And you would not look for o:\myproj, just o:\ as it WOULD be d:\myproj

that was a typo, you can see I said subst above that

ok, little inaccurate message from me

make d:\versions\temp\myproj

subst o: d:\versions\temp

in iis look for o:\myproj

it can see it via the folders but when you click ok it doesn't work

try it

Sudden VS2003 Error

I was going along just fine developing an ASP.NET application using IIS on
my own machine. I had to reboot. When I came back, VS started acting
flakey. It would not reload my project claiming that it could not connect
to the url on my machine (something like http://localhost/myApplication).
"A connection with the server could not be established"
I tried this:
1) backed up all files
2) deleted the project folder from wwwroot
3) created a new web application in visual studio using the same name
4) copied all the source code files (no project or solution) into that
folder and added them to the new project
Worked fine at first and built just fine, but when I exited VS and came back
it would no longer load either.
Caveat 1: When I rebooted I changed my network password, but I don't expect
this should matter in any way.
Caveat 2: I am running McAfee Anti-Virus (required by the site whose machine
this actually is).
Tried to google the error for a solution, but nothing seems to fix it.
Any takers?Hi
There are known problems with McAfee and VS.NET.
If you are forced to use McAfee make sure the "buffer overload" option
is off.
Good luck.

Dan,
I'll disable it, but can you tell me what effect it had on you, or how you
figured out that it was the problem?

super-newbie question

I'm new to ASP.Net 2005. I installed VS.NET 2005 with everything possible,
have IIS installed... so how do I create a new ASP.Net 2005 project? No
where in the new project dialogue can I see an option to create one.
PaulClick on file -> New -> Web Site , Select a template you want a location,
language . You should be good to go

Of course, "File", "New Project" should work fine, too.

Switch from Cassini to IIS on a project

I was dumb and created the project as FILE instead of HTTP. I have IIS installed and want to use it instead. How can I switch my project over, or do I have to recreate it and readd my items?

- Right click on the root node of the Solution Explorer

- Goto "Options"

- In the "Server" area, say "Use Custom Server" and set the "Base URL"

done

never mind... found it

START options... :}
