Updating Document Root - aptana

I've just started using Aptana now and think its a really good IDE for my use. I created a new project and started working with uploading files to the project. I changed the file system structure of my project and need to update the document root of the project however I can not find where I can do that. I went to the Project->Properties while I had my project highlighted and it did not have a place for me to edit the document root.
Does anybody know how to do this?

What is the best way to update paths in code between ‚project‘ folder and ‚tools‘ folder‘?

My workaround is as follows:
I have a project folder connect to git. On this files (projects) I am working, trying stuff etc.
If something is good to run, I push a release which I put in my tools Folder and use after productively.
In some projects I have paths connected to the project Directory (for test runs etc.) but after releasing it they are in the tools Directory, so the path in the code is different.
Probably there is a common simple solution how to fix it, for sure to point the code to a folder on the desktop or somewhere else but NOT in the project Or tools Folder. But is there an automatic work around to solve my issue?

dotnet build CS2012 cannot open dll for writing

I have a .Net Core 3.1 DLL project that all of a sudden didn't build anymore with the following error message:
CSC : error CS2012: Cannot open 'some.dll' for writing -- 'Access to the path 'some.dll' is denied.'
This project is not under any kind of source control. It's not on a build server (what most questions on Stack Overflow is about). It's a project on my local machine.
Now, to rule out Visual Studio I've tried to build it from the command line with dotnet. Same thing unfortunately. Things I've tried:
Close Visual Studio, delete obj folder + bin folder
Delete the entire project and made a new one with the same name
Removed project reference to other project (to rule out: dotnet core build in parallel or simultaneously)
The suggestions here error CS2012: Cannot open <executable path> access to <executable path denied>
This all didn't help. Then I had success for 1 build with:
Changing the target framework from 3.1 to 3.0
Changing the name of the project
This built the project once, because the filepath changes really, but then I got the same error the 2nd built.
Then I've had a few days success by:
Moving the entire solution to a new folder without the problematic project. Then adding a brand new project and adding the code to this complete new project.
But unfortunately after a few days I got the exact same problem. I have no idea what changed. It's always this project (which is a unittest project) and not the other project that it references (also a DLL project). I am out of ideas. Anybody have any suggestions for me to try?
Thanks in advance for helping.
Update
My project's name = "TheGenesysProject.Engine.Test" and it was indeed quarantined by my company's security software as Pavel said in the comments. So I changed it to "JustSomeLib" and the security software didn't quarantine it anymore! Why this is, I have no clue whatsoever...
Update 2
it must be something in the project itself and not the name of the dll. I restored JustSomeLib so it had the same NuGet packages (xunit + xunit.runner.visualstudio) plus .cs files (just 3 files with some unittests in them nothing fancy) as TheGenesysProject.Engine.Test and it all build and worked once! Then I coded some more stuff. Added an unittest to test my new code and... Bam! In quarantine again. What the heck?! I am just logging this for if people have the same problem as I do.
Update 3
Just to conclude this story. The folder with sourcecode is now excluded from the malware scan and the dll's are not put in quarantine. This solved this problem. Thank you Pavel.

Preview Failed - Visual Studio will look for typescript files when publishing even when they are not included

I'd like to do the inverse of this question/answer:
How to include TypeScript files when publishing?
The thing is that I'm trying to publish an ASP.NET MVC 5 Project. Unfortunately the dreaded Visual Studio and the hungry Jack Typescript interpreter ignores any tsconfig.json file and decides to go deep down and look for any .ts file that is not accompanied by a .js. I have lots of npm packages nested down and some of them have uncompiled typescript files.
Funny thing is, that they are not included in the project (not even an exclamation mark). (I even checked for the .csproj and no files were found).
Is this a bug? How can I prevent this from happening? Using VS 2015.2 (Update 2).
I had a very similar issue. Publish kept failing because it couldn't find foo.js as it wasn't in the same directory as my ts/tsconfig files, even though outDir was set to another location. I don't know if it is a bug or not but I couldn't figure it out using the tsconfig. Instead, I was able to get things working by using the inbuilt TypeScript Build settings instead.
First, I deleted all tsconfig files from my project (I made sure I kept a backup just in case). The TypeScript Build was originally greyed out because I had the tsconfig files in my project.
Next, I created a new folder directly under Scripts to save the js files into.
I then went to Project Properties and selected the TypeScript Build tab. Under Output, I checked the Redirect JavaScript output to directory and browsed to the newly created folder. I repeated this for all build configurations.
Finally, I included the new folder in my project and then built. Folders and files which aren't included in the project can be seen as a ghost icon in the Solution Explorer if you have Show All Files icon selected. I think that if you have multiple TypeScript projects with their own tsconfigs, the file structures are replicated under the chosen output directory but I haven't tested it in many cases so I'm not certain.
Obviously I had to redirect my script bundles to the newly created js structure.
When I first followed this process, I got a few build errors mainly due to my own daft mistakes in my TypeScript code which I'd set the tsconfig to conveniently ignore. Another error was multiple references for objects, which I managed to fix by deleting the definitions files and making sure that the Generate declaration files option was unchecked in Typescript Build. Once I fixed those issues though, I was able to publish without that annoying error - happy days!

Visual Studio import .publishsettings for File System

Where/How do you create a .publishsettings file, so you can import a common configuration for all of your local, test deployments?
I want to publish another site locally to my computer via Visual Studio to C:\Webs\TheSite. Every time I do this for a new site, I have to create a new custom profile and go through and click all the checkboxes etc.
I would rather start by importing a pre-configured .publishsettings file, and just change TheSite in the destination path.
However, I can only find instructions for Azure and FTP/WebDeploy:
http://gauravmantri.com/2012/09/14/about-windows-azure-publish-settings-file-and-how-to-create-your-own-publish-settings-file/
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-get-started/
http://www.iis.net/learn/web-hosting/joining-the-web-hosting-gallery/generate-a-profile-xml-file
Surprisingly answer to this simple question is so hard to find. I wasted hours searching answer to this to save minutes in creating new profile. Well then I never knew it would take so much time.
The simple hack is to copy the "PublishProfiles" folder from previous project (from where you want to get publish profile) and paste it in present project in "MyProject" folder.
If you already have "PublishProfiles" folder in present project then copy only the relevant xxx.pubxml and xxx.pubxml,user files from previous project.
Then open the profile and edit it as you like.

recover project in visual studio 2010

i have 4 project in my solution, framework , domain objects,business objects and website ...
but this morning website project couldnt be loaded... when i tried firsttime to open solution... "The solution file has been modified outside the enviroment" message seemed and press reload then error is project file is corrupted... how can it happen... how can i fix this...
thx..
One way... if its from some source control , get the latest and leave the changed part by you.
If you dont have any source control then you can have the two options
- Create a new solution and add all your projects to it and rebuild it. Check for the errors.
- If your code is completely corrupted and files are unreadable, that is unrecoverable,
then you must have to follow this
copy the projects dlls out of bin
dir,
use red gate reflector and extract
all the class file in new project
file.
Now for aspx.cs you can create a new
project add all aspx file in that new project and also the
new cs files generated by the reflector addin. Do it for all pages. When done , right click on Project of web app(if its), then choose convert to web application. Also check the Page header of each page that they are using the same class files.
I know this is little bit tough , but will work....to recover almost that much code, when your app was last compiled.
Note : Also you will have to maintain the hierarchy of the project as the reflector add in (FileGenerator on Codeplex) might miss the actual project hierarchy.
You can open your solution file (.sln) in notepad and check for the consistency of the document.
The sln file will be in a hierarchical structure (like we have an xml).
You can also open csproj files of different projects that you have in the solution check the xml of the csproj.
