I had forgotten how much I hate dealing with web projects in Visual Studio 2003, until today.  I went to open up one of our companies VS 2003 web projects and didn't have a virtual directory configured before hand, so when it tried to open it complained it couldn't find the path to the csproj file.  OK, no big deal, open up inetmgr and create a virtual directory.  Well that was a good though, except I entered the incorrect path for the virtual directory.  Try again, change the virtual directory to the correct path and try an open the project again.  No good, I get this error now, "Unable to get the project file from the web server."  What the?

The fix: delete *.* from c:\documents and settings\sneal\VSWebCache.
