ASP.Net convert website project to web application project

The way I did it was:

• Create a new web application project
• Close project
• Copy all items from website project folder into new application folder. The olde files should overwrite any duplicate new items
• Open web application project
• Show all files to show folders not included in project shaded out
• Include each folder not already in project. Which will load any items in that folder
• Select Master Page
• Right-Click choose convert project to web application project
• This creates designer.vb files
• Try now
