IIS Multiple Dotnet Projects

[csgraham74]

Hi,

Im sure someone has came across this annoynace before but hopefully
someone can help. i am working with multiple projects in VS 2005 and
the way i have it setup is that everytime i open a new project i have
to go into IIS and change the Home Directory local path to the folder
containing all my project files.

I was wondering if there is a way to setup each project that i do not
have to constantly open each project and then go into IIS to change
the Home Directory local path to the project folder.

any help or guidance appreciated. BTW - im working in windows XP
Professional and the .Net 2.0 framework.

Thanks

If you use a web application project, the IIS setup is part of the
proj file; there is also a "create virtual directory" button on the
properties page.

Any use?

Another option is to create the IIS virtual directory/application before-hand
at the desired folder path (say, http://localhost/myapp pointing at
C:\Projects\MyAppWeb) and then point VS to the created virutal app
(http://localhost/myapp) when creating a web application.

That's what I've been doing Siva but have not deployed any ASP.NET yet. Have
you found any problems with pathing or whatever with this methof when trying
to work as a developer on a lame and crippled OS like XP Pro?

This is just about enough to make me go out and buy a new computer just to
run Vista and IIS7...
