Migrating a website into Visual Studio .NET

While not specific to C# (although I am coding in C#). I have a website I've
developed using Dreamweaver, and am rapidly getting sick of it. Is there an
import or migration function for Visual Studio .NET to pull that into a
solution, or would I have to cut and paste and recreate from scratch?

TIA

Click to expand...

Create a C# web project and set it to operate out of the folder your
application files are currently in. Then, in the Solution Explorer window on
the right hand side, click the "Show all files" icon it is a picture of
three documents staggered, a yellow one in the middle.

You will see some blanched document icons with the names of the files you
created in DreamWeaver. Right click on them and select "Include in Project."
It will ask you if you want a code behind file. Only do that if you want to
switch your existing code to Visual Studio's code behind model (you'll have
to copy it out and do that yourself if you choose to.)
