The web project in solution file is unavailable. Project reload show this message;
Here is the solution;
IIS Manager is required to run this web app and IIS Express doesn’t have IIS Manager or any UI. Following solution will work on IIS Express.
When you open Visual Studio and get the error message, right-click the project Solution Explorer and choose “Edit {ProjectName}.csproj”
In the project file, change the following line:<UseIIS>True</UseIIS>
to<UseIIS>False</UseIIS>
Save the file.
In my case it was this;
<UseIISExpress>true</UseIISExpress>Now reload your project.
Done.
You’ll then be able to open your project. If at this point, you want to use IIS, simply go to your project properties, click the “Web” tab, and select the option to use IIS. There’s the button there to “Create Virtual Directory”. It may tell you that you need to run Visual Studio as an administrator to create that directory, so do that if needed.
