I have this project that was just dropped in my lap and I was told to fix it. I have two parts to this problem, all I need is one of them solved.
The first part of the problem is
Well, the previous programmer is not around any more and I have been having trouble opening the project. First it said that it could not find the project at http://localhost/whatever, well this tells me that the previous programmer was editing the server directly. This is the problem, we do not want to do this anymore. To get around this I put IIS on my local computer in hopes that VS would think my computer is the server. The project is still not allowing me to open it. I get an error that says that the project cant be opened because the server does not exist. I can change the location of the server, this is correct.
The second part of the problem is
I have tried to create a new project and add existing items to the project, but it wont compile. Several errors that say ...
"The type or namespace 'whatever' does not exist in the class or namespace 'whatever' (are you missing an assembly reference?)".
What I need
Anyway, what I need is an easy way to either open the current project or create a new project so that all the files are still in the project and it actually compiles.
Thanks,
TJ
