Due to the differences between website and web application projects, the system cannot import from one to another automatically. After completing the standard import procedure, manually perform the following steps to ensure that your web application runs correctly:

 

1. The import places all physical files from the imported package into the ~/App_Data/CMSTemp/ImportExport/Files folder. Copy the content of the folder into the root of your web application project.

Important!

 

We strongly recommend creating a backup of your project before overwriting any files.

 

 

2. Open the solution file (WebApp.sln) in Visual Studio from the web project directory.

 

3. Include the files that did not exist in the project before the import:

 

a.Click Show all files at the top of the Solution Explorer.

b.Locate the newly added files.

c.Select the files you wish to include one-by-one while holding the Ctrl key.

d.Right-click one of the files and select Include in Project.

 

4. Right-click the project node (CMSApp) in the Solution Explorer, and select Convert To Web Application.

 

5. Rebuild the solution.
