Taking over project

Anyone got any pointers on taking over code from another consultant? I have
some ASP.NET code, some assemblies with the projects to build the dlls in
the bin folder, and all the code and pages that are on the production
server. Now I am going to have to set up the development environment. This
does not look as simple as opening the project in VS.NET or is it?Hi Ron,

You might find it faster to create your own project in VS.NET and start
dropping the other person's .aspx and .vb files in it. See if you can get it
to build before you make any changes.

Although you can sometimes open someone else's solution or project, there
are usually path changes and Web site configuration setting that don't match
up. You spend more time trying to make it work than you would creating your
own project and copying the files.

Taking out the trash

Hi Nick,

What are located under the wwwroot directory is our own web projects. You
can remove them safely. However, some subfolders under this directory have
specific purpose and if removed, the associated function will be dump. For
example, the aspnet_client was created by the installation of ASP.NET
framework, which contains some client-side javascript for client-side
validation. These scripts may be used by
System.Web.UI.WebControls.CustomValidator, if the control was run at
client. If the folder of aspnet_client was removed, the client-side
validation will not work any longer.

For the folders such as images, you can removed it safely, for it is just a
recommended location to place some common images, such as gif, jpg and so
forth, that may be used in our web applications.

Does it answer your question? If I have misunderstood your concern, please
feel free to let me know.
