VS2010 - ASP.NET Configuration Won't Open

Question

I have a standard ASP.NET project. I have created a login control on the page and now I would like to start adding the option to register as a member on my page.

My problem is that when I click "Asp.net Configuration" in the solution explorer or under the Projects tab. Nothing opens up.

I have made sure that my project is not running, the configuration window just won't open.

Answer 1

SOLVED! I had exactly the same problem, Firefox was my default browser, after I reset Internet Explorer as the default browser, it worked! The configuration page is (for some silly reason) a web page, and perhaps it only jives with IE.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, but I didn't want to keep switching from Firefox to IE to solve the issue. Digging a bit deeper, it seems the provided URL is incomplete. You need to use the following template:

http://localhost:<port>/asp.netwebadminfiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=<projectPath>&applicationUrl=/

Hope that helps.
