Running Visual Studio in Parallels for mac - problem with debugging sites sitting in os x drive

Question

I\'ve installed parallels desktop on my MacBook to be able to run Visual Studio 2008 in a XP installation. Everything works great except when I decided to put my websites in

Answer 1

Try moving the project on to the VMs C drive. Its not an ideal situation, but you can access the VMs C drive from OS X.

I have a similar problem with a php site that uses an MS Access database (its a clients system). I have alias's that point to the php site on the VM so that I can still do all of my coding in OS X. To do this I created a network share on the VM and then connected to it from OS X. Once connected make the alias's. If the network drive is not open and you open a file in OS X it will try to reconnect. It means the VM will need to be running to get to the files, but this isn't normally a problem since the VM is hosting the site anyways.
