VS 2003 project configuration

[ecsmoore]

I just received a set of application files taken off a web server. It is a full application that was developed in VS 2003. I have been asked to modify it. I have no solution files. Does anyone know how to set this up in VS 2003? If I start a new project it doesn't recognize the existing files I put in the application directory. I have been using 2005 for quite a while now and this reminds me of some very frustrating times trying to do something that should be very simple. Anybody have an idea? This is a large corporation and they cannot go forward to .NET 2.0 or 3.5 yet. thank you

You could create a new solution and use the Add Existing Files method.

You may have to use the "Add Existing Item" option when you right click on the project or folder.

thanks for the feedback guys....
when i drill down to add existing i am taken to the folder where the project was created i.e. webfolder\localhost\appname and there it will not list any of the files, even tho they exist there.

Just drop the files into the directory that you created for your new project and then add them.
