Sorry I am new to VB.net. I come from an sql, and web scripting background. Recently I was asked to update a small program created in VS 2003. Having VS 2005 I had to convert it. I made it through that process and I am now I am having trouble reading the code. I have a couple questions if anyone would be so kind to help me with.

1. There are 3 main projects to this solution. After I converted it and opened it up in VS 2005 I can only see these projects in my Solution Explorer. All the other common files i.e. webconfig do not show up even though they are in the folder. Am I in the wrong view?

2. My biggest problem right now is that I need to change the server that the code is accessing. I can not find reference to the server anywhere. Is there a general file that this information is kept in? Can I change it without having to recompile the code?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Jessica
 
sometimes the solution view can get out of synch. you can probably click the refresh button to fix this. You can also open the web.config file to edit it. If those actions don't fix it, you'll probably need to trace the code to findout where the connection string is stored and make a change there.
