project files

[Philip Townsend]

I need to create a project from an existing website, but Visual Studio
will not allow for this. The IDE looks for a project file, and if it
cannot find one, it will not open the site (unlike Visual Interdev).
Importing the entire site is not a suitable option either, due to the
size of the site and the nature of the required updates. Can anybody
help with this?

Hello Philip,
You can select empty web project in Visual Studio. Then drag the files from
windows explorer that you what to be in the project and drop them on the
project name of the empty project. They will be added to your project and
to the directory you created the empty project in.
I hope this helps.
Thank you,
