Good Morning All,

I have migrated a MSCMS2001 database into MSCMS2002 and am trying to
access the templates held within.

As it stands, some of the sites work correctly after being migrated
and some do not show at all...

I am wondering how do I access the MSCMS sites using Visual Studio
.NET 2003?
The developer tools have installed correctly, as I can see the CMS
options in the Tools menu.

One factor that may affect my usage of .NET with CMS2002 is that I
have installed MSCMS to use a website other than the Default website.
I have seen the documentation and fixes for this, but I still don't
know how to open my site on VS .NET 2003.

I have tried the Open 'Project From Web' to no avail, it still looks
for an offline Project file... Which obviously does not exist, as I
have just done a migration...

Can someone shed any light for me on this?
I've been banging my head on my desk for days trying to figure it
out...

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

if you migrated the site to MCMS 2002 then you will have most likely ASP
based templates.
Afaik VS.NET cannot be used to maintain ASP based templates. Usually
Frontpage or similar editors are used to do this.

VS.NET is only necessary to maintain the Template Gallery Items in the MCMS
repository. The ASP files on the file system should not be maintained using
VS.NET.

Cheers,
Stefan.

You can actually maintain the ASP templates in VS.NET.  But you don't need
to use VS.NET, you can use any code editor.  Since ASP doesn't require that
you compile the project, VS.NET is not necessary except for accessing the
Template Gallery Items, as Stefan mentioned.

By default, the templates were exported to the NR/exeres/ folder underneath
the MCMS program files folder on your computer.  You can leave them there,
or move them and reset the template paths in the Template Exporer (in
VS.NET).
