>>Hi,

>>I have a number of HTML pages, CSS file, images, etc - all comprising a static web site. I would like to add all of these to VS so that I can maintain the pages using VS 2012. All files reside in the folder D:\VS2012\WEBPROJECTS\MySite. I can open any HTML page and view/edit it. But Solution Explorer shows no files. My goal is to see all files of this site in the Solution Explorer.

I am not trying to access remote website from VS. Basically I do what you described. I upload my HTML and other files to the web site via FTP client. No problems there. All I want to is to see all my HTML and other files - residing on my computer hard drive - in VS 2012. So that I can open VS 2012 and see a site/project/whatever it is called in VS, click on it, and then see all file site files in Solution Explorer. So far I can't figure out how to do it.
Thank you for your message.
