How to “publish directory from a web server”?

Question

I am interested in running this MSDN ASP.NET sample (more info on its content on this page ).
The install instructions mentions:

To setup this example on your PC (...) publish the 'Quantize' directory from your web server. It should be published as http://[localhost]/quantize.

When I tried to open the solution, it failed to load the Quantize.csproj project.
I have no experience in ASP.NET, but C# desktop application are ok.
What does "publish a directory" mean, and how can I quickly get the code running to test it?

Answer 1

This means that you need to create virtual directory "quantize" at IIS and link it to folder with this project. To open the project separatly in VS just open Quantize.csproj.webinfo with any text-editor and remove line <Web URLPath....
