I develop Web applications locally on my Windows XP (SP1) laptop using
Visual Studio. My company is concerned about security, especially if
the laptop is compromised, so I should either encrypt all files on my
computer using the Encrypting File System (EFS) or I should get the
code off my computer.
I tried to encrypt the wwwroot directory but I get a popup when running
a project that says "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start
debugging on the web server. Server side-error occurred on sending
debug HTTP request." When I view the Event Log I see an error that
says "Failed to execute request because the App-Domain could not be
created. Error: 0x80070005 Access is denied."
So clearly the system does not like the files to be encrypted. Has
anyone successfully encrypted using EFS and run projects? Are there
any other ideas about how to solve this problem? I can see only one
other answer, and that is to put the code on a network server and
develop remotely as described in the semi-isolated section of
