How come I dont see web.config in visual studio 2005

quick facts on vs 2005

Apparently you will have to attempt a debug for the studio to warn you that this file needs to be created, and at which time you will give your permission to the good studio, and the good studio will then create the web.config in an appropriate ceremony.

Try figuring this out at midnight on a friday...

Apparently the file is created but will not be shown in the project and it needs to be refreshed for it to show. On top of that the debug will fail as there is no debug added to the file. At least the file is created. Now I have to figure out why the debug is not working


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
</configuration>

If it were to work at all add it in the root of the web app

So the debug succeeds in the second attempt now that the web.config is available

I can't believe this is happening with Microsoft
