I am trying to run an old .net app. I'm used to seeing .sln files but this project has a website.publishproj file.
I am able to build the project by right clicking the website.publishproj file and selecting "Build" but I just get that it was successful, I need this to run in a browser:
I'm taking a guess that the .publishproj file is the relevant one, so I'm including the contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
