I have to maintain an ASP.NET project developed by a previous colleague. I have visual studio 2010 installed now and this is my first ASP.NET project. I have been trying in vain to Import the last deployed version of the project from the location of server_name\inetpub\wwwroot But so far nothing works where it will import, build and run in debug mode. I looked in the computer of the previous developer for all the project source code files but could only find the .sln file.
I have tried simply adding an existing project. I have tried creating a solution and adding existing components by navigating to the .vbproj file. I have tried using the tool bar with File » Add » Existing project. I have tried the solution(s) recommended at this URL;
Visual Studio: Create a web application from existing code
The only one that comes close is, the method of creating a blank solution with the same name, copying the relevant deployed folder from server_name\inetpub\wwwroot to the blank solutions location. Then in the copied folder delete the .sln file. Back in visual studio File » Add » Existing Web Site and navigate to the copied folder. This builds the project and all looks okay but when I click on debug I receive numerous messages of "Microsoft JScript runtime error: object doesn't support this property or method". How do I fix this please??
