Open Web Site in Solution Dialog Box

The Open Web Site in Solution dialog box appears when you open a local Internet Information Services (IIS) Web site that contains other Web sites. A local Web site is an IIS Web application on your computer. Visual Web Developer reads IIS metabase information so that these Web sites are interpreted as distinct Web applications in Solution Explorer.
