You may get the below error while trying to load ASP.NET web site/Web application while using Visual Studio under Windows Vista.

To resolve this error and get the project loaded follow the following steps :

1- close the current running instance of Visual Studio

2- Run the Visual Studio again but in Administration Mode , to do so :

- From Start menu select Visual Studio , right click and select Run as Administrator option.

 

3- You should now see that the title bar has been changed to show that you are running in administration mode. [Project Name] -  Microsoft Visual Studio (Administration)

Congratulations !  You will now be able to load the web site .

BTW : If we you don't have a web site configured on IIS 7.0 you will be prompt to create one , just click yes

Good luck :)

Hello All,

I've finally manage to upgrade my development machine from Windows XP to Windows Vista and of course this was not a normal operation !.

In fact I've spend a lot of time between handling the normal Windows programs to get it run on Vista, and the development software which are only my needs in this live :).

I'll start a blogging series about common problem I've faced and how to fix it , I'll concentrate mainly on the development software

- Visual Studio

- ASP.NET Web sites/ Web application and the integration with IIS 7.0

- SQL server 2000 and 2005.

- Common tips and tricks for developer who works with Vista as a primary operation system.

So , Wait for me ....
