Have a functional web application - virtual directory in the Default Web Site in IIS on my Windows 2000 Pro machine - which shows up fine in IIS and which I can access in IE (http://localhost/MyApp). However, when I attempt to add the project to Visual STudio I get the following errors:

If I attempt to add using Add Existing Project from Web, and selecthttp://localhost the web app does not appear in the list. If I type the name of the web app (http://localhost/myapp) I'm not left with any files to select, i.e. there's no .vbproj file for me to select (even though I can see it in the folder as well as the virtual directory in IIS).

Alternatively, if I attempt to add the project by using Add Existing Project and browsing the folder where the project resides, I get the following message:

"The project you are trying to open is a Web project. You need to open it by specifying it's URL path."

Any ideas, anyone. I'm ready to try dynamite!
