Hi Gene--
My next question is...
For this to work well, the client machine will need to have both VS.NET and
it will need to be running Win XP Pro or Win 2000 Pro. Is this the case?
If you don't have Win XP Pro or Win 2000 Pro, then you are sunk. (If it is
possible, then it is strange and non-standard and I do not know the
details.)
Let's assume that you DO have the right OS.
Now, there are several ways to do this. Here is one way, that seems to work
for me.
1. Make sure the ASP.NET project is running well on the server. Open it
there with VS.NET, compile it, and make sure all is well.
2. Now, go to the "remote", developer workstation.
3. Lauch VS.NET.
4. Choose >File, >Open Project, >Project From Web.
5. Type in the other machine's main web site address and the path to your
project's solution file. For example, let's assume that the other machine's
main web site is "
http://MyLocalWebServer" and that the project is in a
folder called "../MyProject" and the the project's soulution file is called
"MySolution.sln". In that case, you would type in
"
http://MyLocalWebServer/MyProject/MySolution.sln" and it should work.
6. You may get "slight" errors at this point, but it will be real clear if
you are finding the server or not. Work out these kinks (because there are
too many to discuss right now) and you will be all set.
Well, this is a BIG topic (in the sense that there can be a lot of small
details to juggle), so I am just trying to get you pointed in the right
direction.
HTH.
