I successfully got a project to open. I performed the
following steps:

1. I created a share on the web server drive, we'll refer
to it as Apps.

2. Created a folder inside the share, we'll refer to it as
project.

3. Copied the entire web project files from the IIS folder
to Apps/Project.

4. Deleted the web project folder from wwwroot.

5. Created a virtual directory Project pointing to
Apps/Project.

6. Edited my local .sln file in notepad to point to
https://server/virtualdirectory/projectname.vbproj

7. In the share I edited the projectname.vbproj.webinfo to
be https://server/virtualdriectory/projectname.vbproj

I then opened the project from the .NET IDE and it
actually came up though it spit out a warning about
the .bin directory. I haven't determined the effects if
any of the warning. I also haven't tried creating a new
project yet.
