new ASP.NET application

[Mark Goldin]

I am trying to create a new ASP.NET application.
By default it has name "webapplications1". How can I name it differently and
also
point to a folder of my choice?

Thanks

Right click on the project's name in the solution explorer and select
"Rename", also right click on the project's name and select properties, make
sure you change the name of the default namespace and the assembly name as
well.

To change the working folder, you have to create a new web project that
points to the desired folder and then copy your files from old project to
the new one, there is no option in VS.NET to change the working virtual web
folder.

I am trying to create a new project. When I change location to my folder it
tells me that
something is already set (????????????????) to file share for that project
(the one that does not
exist yet, ?????????????????????????).

Do you have access to IIS? go there and check the virtual directories you
have, delete the ones that you don't want, in VS create a web project that
has a name doesn't exist in the IIS virtual directories list.

Not sure I understand.
Here what I do:
New ASP.NET application
Name:http://localhost/WebApplication1
Location: http://localhost/WebApplication1
All I want is to change name and point to a folder I want to create the
project in.
I am really trying to understand what am I doing wrong here.

WebApplication1 is virtual directory located in your localhost, now this
directory has been created before, when you try yo create a new project you
cannot assign the same name for the new virtual directory in your localhost,
for example, you might want to give your new project another name
(http://localhost/WebApplication2)

Now, in case you want to use WebApplication1 specifically as a name for your
new project then you need to go to your web server (IIS) and delete
WebApplication1, and then recreate a new project with the name
http://localhost/WebApplication1

There is no virtual WebApplication1 folder on the computer I am working on.
