Vetrijar Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 I'm not sure what this is called. at first I thought it was debugging remotely, but maybe it's something else I have VB.NET 2003 on my desktop and my laptop. I have a web project on my desktop. I want to be able to travel around and access the vb.net project from my laptop. Right now, I use remote desktop from windows XP to do this but it's SLOW with refreshing each click/drag. Is there a way to access the desktop from the laptop through vb.net and edit/run the program through the laptop vb.net ? desktop has xp pro, laptop has home edition. Quote
samsmithnz Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 If the project is hosted on your desktop (which is has to be, as XP home doesn't have IIS anyway), then you can host and debug the project on the desktop, and open and run the project on your laptop. thats actually how we do most of our work, the project is hosted on a server (which in development is really just a desktop machine anyway), while we sit at our desks at our laptops debugging.

NK2000 Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 sourcesafe or any cvs application&server might be helpful Quote
Vetrijar Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 is there a site (unless you don't mind listing) that show the step-by-step to accessing the project from a laptop? I'm getting errors like unauthorized, or not found, or stuff like that. My desktop (Xp pro) is on a cable modem with a static ip address. Quote
samsmithnz Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 That is probably your problem then, I assumed you were debugging through a network. You can't debug through a firewall. Quote Thanks Sam http://www.samsmith.co.nz
Vetrijar Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 do i need to turn off win xp firewall is all? guess I'm confused on this remote programming. I was thinking I could program from a friend's house to my home desktop through the Internet. Quote
samsmithnz Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 You might be able to program, but you won't be able to debug Quote Thanks Sam http://www.samsmith.co.nz
Vetrijar Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 wonder if I could use the VPN (virtual network) to connect as if I was on the workplace network? Do you know the steps into setting up the desktop and laptop for connection? I went to the microsoft website and it's LOADED with tons of info I can't decipher into simple steps! :-( Quote
samsmithnz Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Setting up a vpn IS never easy. I've tryed before and failed... but then again I suck at network stuff... Quote Thanks Sam http://www.samsmith.co.nz
Vetrijar Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 well i setup the VPN, but right now I want to see if I can do the project through just a Network connection through a switch. I think it connected, but I get errors with the connection about debugging and stuff. when hitting F5 I get *Error while trying to run project: unable to start debugging on teh web server. access is denied ..." it tells me it can be configured with the Local Security Settings' under the admin tools, but I haven't a clue what I look for in that window.
