Hi Dave,
From your description, you're encountering some problem open a webtest file
in your visual studio (2005? ) project, correct?
As for the WebTest, you created throught "Test-->NewTest ...", then do you
already have a web application(project) opened or you create a new
project/solution through "Test-->New Test"? As the error message indicate,
a webtest file must be embeded in a test project, I'm wondering whether
there is anything incorrect with the container project. I've performed a
simple test on my side via the following steps:
** open an existing ASP.NET web project (hosted in IIS)
** "Test-->New Test" and create a new Web Test in the project(also create
a new Test Project inside the solution that contain the original web
project)
** close the IDE and open it again, it seems the webtest file can be opened
correctly.
therefore, I think this should be a solution or project specific issue. For
general test, you can also try create a new solution and copy all the
original projects into the new one to see whether the problems can be
eliminated.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng
