Creating a Web Project

A Microsoft^® Visual InterDev™ Web project is stored locally on your machine. The files on your machine make up the local Web application. In Microsoft^® Visual Studio™, Web projects and other project types are accessed from a solution.

To create a new Web project

• Add a new project to a solution if you have one already open in the Project Explorer.

  –or–

• Create a new solution and a new project simultaneously.

If you are creating your first Web application, then it's easiest to create a solution and a project at the same time.

To create a solution and a Web project at the same time

1. From the File menu, select New Project.
   
   
2. From the New tab, select Visual InterDev Projects in the left pane and New Web Project in the right pane.

   

3. In the Name text box, type a name for the new solution.

   If you already have a solution open, select the Close current solution option.

4. Click Open. This launches the Web Project Wizard.
