Stop VS2010 asking about remap url on solution load

Question

I have a solution with several web applications in it. After switching to VS2010, it keeps asking me if I want to remap the web application urls to the physical location of the solution (which is different as there are several versions in development). Most of the time I want to just run the gui and I don't care about the web side. It's rather annoying as it blocks the solution loading.

How can I make it stop asking me about it every time I load a different version of the solution ?

Answer 1

Have you tried installing the latest VS 2010 service pack?

This SO question addresses a similar issue (at least it sounded similar to me) and the selected answer recommended getting the service pack from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23691.

Answer 2

The first thing that comes to mind is to create another (or modify one) of the solution files and right-click unload (not remove) the web project if you are not using it most of the time.

Answer 3

As long as some projects are configured for debugging through IIS hosting (project properties->web) you'll get this nuisance. Do these steps:

1. Change the configuration on that tab to no longer use IIS; choose the VS web development server (Cassini) instead.
2. On the same tab, uncheck the "Apply server settings to all users (store in project file)"
3. Save, check-in, and sync everywhere.

In fact, even choosing to use IIS Express in the above sequence might also do the job.
