ASP.NET, SQL Server, WPF, C#, VB.NET

I just received my Visual Studio upgrade to 2005 and tried to create a new  
  
web site via File | New Web Site with location http.   Unfortunately I  
  
received the following error:  
  
"Visual Web Developer does not support creating Web sites on a SharePoint  
  
Web server"  
  
If I create a new server extensions 2002 web in IIS and mark it as an  
  
application and try to use it from Visual Studio I receive the same error.  
  
Apparently SharePoint is causing the problem.  In the installation of VS I  
  
chose the"Install all" option and did not note what was being installed.  If  
  
I had know that SharePoint was to be installed, I don't think I would have  
  
chosen that option.  But now that it is there and causing the above problem,  
  
how do  work around it?

William,  
  
I can not see in which this question is VB.Net related at all especially not  
  
in VS 2005, maybe can you explain it to us, however probably is a newsgroup  
  
to start with this question.  
  
Microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet  
  
I hope you find your solution soon

It is related to VB.Net in the sense that in Visual Studio 2005 I could not  
  
create a new web site in localhost for a web based project. This is all on  
  
an XP Pro computer running IIS.  
  
However, I did find a workaround.  
  
First, using Windows Explorer you create a new folder in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot,  
  
say, TestSite.  Then you open up IIS and create a virtual directory with  
  
alias TestSite, and point it to the folder you created named TestSite.  
  
Now in Visual Studio you can create your new website using the above created  
  
folder, TestSite.  
  
This indirect method is necessary, it seems, because Visual Studio 2005 will  
  
not create a new subweb of the default web site in IIS when you have  
  
SharePoint installed.  I incorrectly thought that the Visual Studio 2005  
  
installation installed SharePoint when, in fact, it appears that it was  
  
installed by Microsoft FrontPage 2002.  
  
I would have thought that someone else would have encountered this problem  
  
but found nothing in a search of Google Groups.

I am using VB from Visual Studio 2005 professional, and there is an option  
  
under the menu item File to create a new web site.  My problem was that  
  
because SharePoint was installed an attempt to do so produced the error  
  
message about creating web sites on a SharePoint  server.  My workaround  
  
solved the problem for me, but , of course, is not ideal.  
  
I will post the same query to the framework newsgroup and see what they say.

William,  
  
You can not use VB 2005 anymore to create a website. There is a seperated  
  
part for it now. "Website" this is a Visual Studio Part in 2005.  
  
(Although by setting your settings to mixed operation using the startup or  
  
by the great description of that in tools "import and export settings" you  
  
can integrate it in one file menu).  
  
Probably would they have told in the framework newsgroup that by changing  
  
your path you would have got your solution, but I am not sure in that, they  
  
probably know that in the newsgroup I showed you.  
  
However feel free to ask it here. It was only an advice for a place for  
  
probably better answers.
