Hello Matthew,
For more info on Web Projects, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbconintroductiontowe
bprojects.asp
The mapping problem could be solved by letting the user of the solution
task specify the mappings.
This is an easy approach that is used in Slingshot.
Example:
A) Typical usage when compiling from VS.NET:
<slingshot>
...
<maps>
<option name="http://localhost/";
value="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\"/>
</maps>
</slingshot>
B) Typical usage when compiling from the source tree on a build server:
<slingshot>
...
<maps>
<option name="http://localhost/"; value="."/>
</maps>
</slingshot>
Reason why this is different:
A) The solution directory may be c:\MySolution, with non-webprojects
residing below c:\MySolution and web projects in eg the
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ directory.
B) All projects are residing below the Solution root.
Best regards,
Bernard

Ahh... How does VS.NET get the mapping from IIS path to file share? I
would love to know. :) I've had so many problems with an auto-build
system when the web share wasn't properly set up, etc.
From running Etherial traces while opening/compiling an ASP.NET trace,
I got the impression that it was using FrontPage as the default,
however. I would definitely like more information about this part of
the process!
Thanks,
Matt
