How do you switch from website to project

[Guest]

For some reason my web application changed to a website app rather than a
project in VS 2005. I don't know how it happened but now whenever I run
under debug I cannot follow the flow of my program especially in any new code
that I introduce. What causes this to happen and how can I change my
application from website to project so I can at least follow my debug code?
I have been programming in VS for 8 years and this has never happened before.
Can anyone tell me why any new code I introduce is completely ignored in
debug mode?

No. I haven't installed sp1 for VS2005. I had a backup of the application
on another machine which processed as a web application. However, when I
copied it to my development computer and brought it up in VS2005 it made it
as a website app rather than a project app. Why is that? Did I lose the
update that gave me web app capabilities. Or worse, did Microsoft update my
computer with SP1 behind my back? I am really confused.

If you right-click the project in Solution Explorer, do you see a menu item
that says "Convert to Web Application Project?". You might give that a try.

BTW, I had the same thing happen to a Web Services application. We still
haven't figured out what happened, but we've had some partial success by
creating a new Web Service Project and copying the original files into it.
The new project hasn't yet turned into a web site. ;-)

Thanks for your comments. I do not get a "Convert to Web Application
Project? when right clicking in Solution Explorer. This is really bizarre
and scary as it renders my application development for this project useless
on this machine. Intellisense doesn't recognize my controls and I can't put
a debug stop on any new instructions. This is definitely a show stopper and
a bad bug. I have to finish my development on another machine which doesn't
have this problem. That is what really mystifies me is that two different
machines handle the same project differently in VS2005. What does that mean?
My environment must be different but I sure don't know what it is. Is
anyone from Microsoft watching?

I suggest you compare the project on the machine that's failing against the
one where it works. Also compare the two solution files.
