How to Develop a One-Page Web Application - How to open or close an existing web site

(Page 4 of 4 )

Figure 2-4 presents three ways to open an existing web site. The Open Project and Recent Projects commands are the easiest to use, but the Open Web Site command provides more flexibility. In the Open Web Site dialog box, you can use the icons on the left to identify the type of web site that you’re opening so you can open a web site directly from the web server on which it resides.

To close a project, you use the Close Project command. After you close a project for the first time, you’ll be able to find it in the list of projects that you see when you use the Recent Projects command.

Figure 2-4.  How to open or close an existing web site

Three ways to open a web site

1. Use the File->Open Project command.
   
2. Use the File->Recent Projects command.
   
3. Use the File->Open Web Site command.

How to use the Open Web Site dialog box

1. To open a file-system web site, select File System on the left side of the dialog box, then use the File System tree to locate the web site.
   
2. If a web site is managed by IIS on your own computer, you can open it by using the File System tree. Or, if you prefer, you can click Local IIS and select the web site from a list of sites available from IIS.
   
3. The other icons on the left of the Open Web Site dialog box let you open web sites from an FTP site or from a remote IIS site.

How to close a project

• Use the File->Close Project command.

Note

• The Recent Projects list and the Open Project and Open Web Site commands are also available from the Start page.
