old ASP project from Visual Studio

J

jp2msft

We've just inherited a project that needs to be modified.

In the <head> section of the Index.asp page, I see these meta tags:
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">
<meta name=ProgId content=VisualStudio.HTML>
<meta name=Originator content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">

The project files are missing, but we do have all of the code and code
behind files.

How can I go about editing and testing this project? Is 7.1 the 2002 or 2003
version? If so, am I going to need to install one of those old versions just
to get started on this?

It's Visual Studio .NET 2003. I think it would be easier to recreate the
project in the version originally used, then update using a current VS. If
you have a MSDN subscription, I believe all VS versions are still available.

Options:

1. Create project in VS >NET 2003 and then add existing items to the
solution (the files in question). That will recreate the project file for
you.

2. Update to .NET 2.0. To do this, you merely open the directory the files
are in. Pretty simple, although you will have to upgrade to 2.0 to make this
work. Should not be a huge stretch, IMO.
