Trouble with multiple projects in a solution: VS 2003

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework

We have 2 web VB ASP .NET 1.1 projects: proj1 and proj2. The
individual projects are placed in directories as follows:
Code>proj1
Code>proj2

Each has its own .sln and .vbproj file.
So far, we have been compiling them separately. The proj1.dll is then
copied in the proj2\bin and referenced as a library. We now want to
have proj1 and proj2 in the same proj2.sln so that everytime we change
proj1, the proj2 gets the latest proj1.dll. We will do this by adding
a reference to proj2 project rather than referring to the DLL.
The projects are added and bound to VSS.
When we put them in the same solution and set the reference, we
observe that every time we open the solution, Visual Studio 2003 wants
to create http:\\localhost\proj1_1 or http:\\localhost\proj1_2. We are
not able to change it to http:\\localhost\proj1 as it says that the
location already contains a project. We are not able to figure out why
this happens. localhost\proj1 already exists. Why the does VS 2003 try
for a new location. Can we make it fetch all the code from VSS into
the existing proj1 virtual directory?

Any suggestions will be helpful.

Thanks,
Yash
