Hi,

I've upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 Pro and have imported a asp.net site authored in VS 2005. I have made some changes and gone to copy the site to my remote test server but could not find the "Copy Website" button that used to be on the 2005 solution explorer window. I eventually found it under the "Project" menu but its greyed out.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

Nell

Hi Nell,

If you can see the “Project” menu in IDE, this web project should be a web application project. For web application project by design the “Copy Web Site” tool is unavailable. The most likely cause of this issue is the VS.NET 2005 website project has been converted to web application project.

To use the “Copy Web Site” tool, please copy the original VS.NET 2005 website project again and open it in VS.NET 2008 via: File | Open | Web Site…
