I have my .net application on Development server(Win 2000+IIS+.Net Frmaework Installed) and I have read/write access to the application folder from my XP machine.
My Machine have Windows XP home eddition(Obveiously no IIS ).On this XP machine full version of VS.net 2003 is installed.
When I try to open Asp.net application solution from my XP machine(all Application files are on Development server folder ) then Visual studio gives error 'Visual Studio can not open or create the applicationhttp://localhost/MyApplicationName on this web server'.And I can't see anything in Solution Explorer.
It looks like VS is looking for IIS locally which is not installed on my XP machine.
I have created the application virtual directory on Development server .
Do I need to change VS settings on XP machine to open ASP.net application which is on other machine(Dev Server) ?
Thanks

Simply change the location of the application. Instead of localhost, use the server name. You may also run into issues of permissions, your account must be in the VS Developers group on the server.

How can I change the location?.
It seems that you are saying how to run the application.
I will explain my question in more detail.
I have 2 machines A & B
Machine A:Windows 2000 Server,.Net FrameworkInstalled,IIS ,
Virtual directory of Application name is'MyApp'and all the soucrce code is in this folder(C:\Intepub\wwwroot\MyApp)
Machine B:WindowsXP home eddition ,VS.net 2003,NO IIS
On machine B 'MyApp'(Of machine A) folder ismapped .
I want to open the application in visual studio to make changes in code from Machine B mapped folder 'MyApp'.
When I open the project from machine B then I get error 'Visual Studio can not open or create the applicationhttp://localhost/MyApp on this web server'.And I can't see any .aspx or other files in Solution Explorer.
Any idea how I can open the application in VS.net from machine B mapped fiolder?.
Thanks

What Jeff is trying to tell you is that you cannot usehttp://localhost to open the application if you don't have IIS installed on your local machine and MyApp is located somewhere else.
Use:
http://the-server-name-where-MyApp-is-located-goes-here/MyApp
