Is it possible to make folder (from solution) visible through web browser using Visual Studio 2013, ASP.Net MVC?
I want to create some kind of detached folder for some JS files that have to be accessable by URL.
Here's what worked for me:
Right click->Add Folder
Right click on the folder -> Add New Item
HTML Page
I didn't have to do anything further for read-only access.
(In your case you'd probably want to Add Existing Item.)

Creating a new website allows you to choose the path of the website files. However, the project file itself is created under the Projects folder. How can I create it somewhere else? I would expect some field for that in the dialog, but can't find it.
(This is not a web-application.)
At least in VS 2013, there is no project file associated with web sites. There is only the .SLN file. The .SLN file is merely a simple container for all of the different websites and projects that you would like opened simultaneously in your Solution Explorer, so the location of the .SLN file on disk is not really important.
Still, if you would like to control its location, you cannot do so through the New Website dialog. You'll have to manually move the .SLN file after you've already created the website. And in doing so, you would also have to open up the .SLN in a text editor and manually adjust all the relative paths to point to your website location.
Currently my VS 2013 project template is appearing in the "Visual C#" folder of the Add New Project dialog. How can I move it into a subfolder of that dialog?
One option is to physically create a new folder inside the template folder and move the template into it. For example:
C:\Users\jonathanallen\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\My Templates
Still looking for an option that doesn't rely on the users happening to put the file in the right place. Maybe a VSIX package?
I'm facing out a strange problem while using ASP.NET MVC 4.
I have 2 "Web Site" projects:
The first named "MyWebSite"
The second named "MyWebSite.Support"
I need to include the scripts under MyWebSite into MyWebSite.Support, so i thought to create a bundle in MyWebSite.Support and to reference that directory (MyWebSite/Scripts) inside that bundle by using "IncludeDirectory"
The problem is that i didn't found a way to correctly do that. It simply doesn't work because the starting path for the IncludeDirectory should be "~", which is the project virtual root path.
PS: If you have another solutions they are welcome!.
I don't even know if it's a good solution (i usually am not a everything_related_microsoft developer)
You could add the scripts as a link to the other project. This will assure you that they are copied when you deploy and you can use them in bundles. To do that, right-click on your scripts folder and select "Add existing item". In the dialog box select the files you want to add. Instead of clicking "Add Item", click on the little arrow next to it and select "Add as a link".
This will not actually copy the files, but include them as a linked file.
This has several advantages:
Files are shared between projects at Design time
You only need to share the files you want, not everything
You don't need any IIS configuration
You can easily edit the same file from each project (without copying it)
I have all the files for the deployment listed below :
-BIN
-CSS
-IMAGES
default.aspx
PrecompiledApp.xml
Web.xml
The above files can be copy pasted in the webapps folder and default.aspx could be run from the browser.
i want to create a solution sln file from this. How to create a solution file?
A solution is merely a container of projects. If you create a project containing these files, the solution file will be created automatically in the same directory (unless you specify otherwise).
File -> New Project
Expand Other Project Types, Select
Visual Studio Solutions
Under Templates, ensure you have
selected Blank Solution
Enter a name and a location for the
solution and click OK
File -> Add -> Existing Web Site
Select the folder that contains your
website and click Open
It looks as though you are creating a web site. I've never been able to create a solution with just a website in it (a web application is a different beast however). However, I have found a workaround, although it's a little cludgy. Create a new class library project (any project type will do really). This will create the project file. Then File -> Add -> Exisiting Web Site. Point to your existing web site and add it. This will create the solution file as you now have two items. You can now delete the first project that you created. This will leave you with a solution file with one web site in it.
I created a C# web project with MSVS 9 and thats all i know about my configurations.
In my browser i can access any aspx files i have in my project. However when i use http://localhost:3288/img/test.png i see nothing. The working directory is ./root, the png file is in ./root/img/test.png How do i have ASP.NET display my images and everything else in the folder? (and subfolders).
Is the .png included in the solution?
When you hit the "play" button your essentially starting up a new website ( localhost:2383 ) so if its not in the solution it won't be copied over to the new, temporary, website that the debugger attaches too.
If this is the problem a quick fix is to hit the "Show all Files" button on the top of your solution explorer, this will show all the files in that folder on your hard drive. Then right click on the .png you want to include and hit "Include in Project".
Based on your comment your only solution is to actually create an IIS site for your solution with the root dir the same as your web project. Then in the project properties you'll have to tell the debugger to attach to your local IIS instead of visual studios. Not sure the exact click path, right click on your project and go to properties, look for debugging options.
Give a look to the ASP Image control , you can specify paths starting in your app root (~):
<asp:Image id="Image1" runat="server"
ImageUrl="~/Images/image1.png"/>
Or you can use relative paths to the page that are displayed.
