How do I Rename an Identical ASP.Net Application for use under IIS?

[ElGordo]

Gurus:

I have been working on a .Net project called "SolutionA" which was given to
me (already completed) for some time. The solution had some baseline web
functionality, and I was asked to implement some additional client requests.
All is well and works fine using this SolutionA file set. Minor requests
are still implemented for this solution.

Today I was given a new project which requires modification of the original
solution (the one with baseline features). Different application requests
have been made for it. The solution files all have the same name as the
ones I've been modifying (SolutionA).

I tried creating a completely new asp.net project called SolutionB, then
copying the new SolutionA files to its folder (overwriting files, etc). But
when I open the SolutionB project, it tries to read off of the existing
SolutionA application on my machine.


How can I install/configure/rename the new SolutionA files to run
side-by-side with my existing SolutionA? (They use a different DB, so
there's no trouble there).

Is there a list of config files I need to rename / manipulate?

Check your project files for references to the SolutionA webroot. I
assume, it is in the file SolutionA.suo or something like that. Change
the reference to your new location and restart the ide.

When I open the .suo file all of the text appears in hex.

Is there another file I need to modify?

It's the .webinfo file which needs editing.

There are 2 files which must be edited:

1. The .webinfo file (thx for that)
2. Open the .sln file in a text editor and edit the URL in that as well
