Problem opening a solution

[c5kirk]

Hi there. I'm new to .Net development and have inherited a web project
built using .Net and C#. I have a copy of the project on my laptop
machine and can open it, make changes, compile fine, test, etc...
The previous developer had VS.Net installed on the web server that
the application is hosted on and would make changes, compile, etc...
directly on that machine. However, when I try to open the project
within VS.Net on that machine I get a dialog box with the following
error...

"The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create
or open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http://localhost/projectname'. 'A redirect request will change a
non-secure to a secure connection'."

I have no idea what's going on here but I have changes I've made on my
laptop that I need to get out to the server and compile to get them
into production... any help you could provide would be GREATLY
appreciated.

BTW... I'm coming from Java and so far I really like .Net!

Cheers!
Kirk

Couple of questions
How do you get your source code from your laptop onto
your server?
Do you use sourcesafe
Are both Visual Studios the Same version?
I think whats happening is because that project already
exists, it will have problems when you try to open it on
the server selve.
If all else fails. Compile on your laptop, Copy
everything out of your Inetpub/wwwroot/mywebapp and copy
it over the old stuff. Just remember to make a backup.
Not the preferred way but it will work.
