Let's open a new web site and explore its layout. Open the Visual Studio 2008 IDE, and
select File ä New ä Web Site. In the New Web Site dialog box, select ASP.NET Web Site as
the project template, and then choose HTTP as the location and Visual C# as the lan-

http:// to http://localhost/Chapter15 , which indicates that you are going to create a web
site under IIS with the name Chapter15. Click OK.
