Setting Up The Project Solution

Open VS 2005 and create a new blank solution.

Next, right-click on the solution file in the "Solution Explorer", choose Add >> New Project. Choose a C# >> Windows >> Class Library, name the project "nullnavigation" and hit "OK".

.

Delete the automatically created Class1.cs and AssemblyInfo.cs (under Properties).  The AssemblyInfo.cs will be added in later since it is included with the UICI source.  Repeat this step creating projects for "portalnavigation", "portalpages" and "portaluiinfrastructure".  Do not create a project for "portal" yet.  We will do that in the next step.  Be certain to spell these projects exactly or you may spend 6-7 hours trying to determine why the libraries won't deploy properly (just trust me on this one).

Open IIS Manager and create a new virtual directory named "Portal_Trunk" (or whatever your base solution is named) that points to the %SOURCE_HOME%\(Solution Name) folder.

Go back to Visual Studio, right click on the Solution Explorer again and add a new project, but this time we are going to choose to add an "ASP.NET Web Application".  Name this project "portal".

 Once added, remove the default.aspx, web.config & AssemblyInfo.cs files from the project.
