Hello:
Could somebody help please?

I can't open any file in Visual Studio .NET
It gives me the following mesag:

unable to validate the file path
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\filename doesn't match the url path
http://localhost/filename

Thanks
 
It's simple..

First make sure that you have IIS installed and a default website set on
it..
IF you can see InternetServices Manager inside Administrative tools in the
control panel then you have IIS installed, else you have to install it..
you can install IIS in win2k using Add/Remove windows components in
Add/Remove programs..

even after that if you get the error then this error occurs probably because
by default IIS gives only read permission into the homedirectory of the
website..
go to the HomeDirectory tab of your local IIS website properties through
controlpanel/administrativetools/Internet Services Manager , and there check
the write check box.. you can see that by default only the read is checked..
so .Net IDE is unable to create an ASP.net application folder there..
