Editing a Deployed ASP.NET

[chuckdfoster]

One of my co-workers created an ASP.NET project which is located on a web
server on site in our building. I need to change something in this project.
I have access to her PC.

How do I get the project on my PC in order to make the changes? Do I need
to copy her ProjectFolder\ProjectSolution.sln file and folder? Is there
best practice that we should be following regarding this issue?

Any advice will be great help as we will be needing to do this alot in the
future. Thanks in advance!!!

Yes, you will need all of the project files. This includes all the ASPX,
ASCX, .cs, .vb and content files (JPG, HTML, etc). Also, then, the project
files itself is the .csproj or .vbproj, and then the .webinfo file. So, in
short, the whole darn directory

The .sln file will be good too if there are other projects (Say Library projects)
and then of course you'll need those files and their respective .cs/vbproj
files.

One last note: After copying the app over, you'll need to setup a virtual
directory on your machine that matches what the .webinfo files expects. Open
it with notepad to see what the name and path should be.

Thanks! So the way to open a whole project is to open the .vbproj file.
That helps alot.
I appreciate it.
