Hi Brad,
From your description, you're using VS 2005 on Vista box and want to change
an existing web appliclation projecct to host through https channel in IIS,
however, you find that the VS 2005 can not open the project after you
swtich the IIS application virtual dir to https, correct?
As for this problem, I'd like to confirm the following information first:
1. is the "web application project" you mentioned here the new project type
included after installing VS 2005 sp1? For VS 2005/ASP.NET 2.0, there has
two project model, "Web site application" and "Web application project".
And it seems teh "Web Application Project" is only used for file sytsem
based application that use VS 2005 test webserver rather than IIS, is this
your case?
2. If your application is of the default "web site application" project,
you can first change back the IIS virtual dir back to http to see whether
it works, this can ensure the correctness of the web project.
3. After you configured the IIS virtual directory to use SSL/HTTPS, can you
correctly view pages in it through browser(without using vs 2005 to open
it)? Also, since https/ssl require the site name to match its subject name
in the SSL certificate, I suggest you also try using the subject name
defined i the certificate(matchs your server's DNS or netbios name?) to see
whether it works.
BTW, running VS 2005 as admin is very important on VISTA if UAC is enabled:

Please feel free to let me know if there is anything else I have missed.
