The Web site {site name} does not exist

So I have taken over an ASP site.

I have copied the solution directory to my local machine.

When I go to open the solution, 9 out of 10 of projects open fine except for the web project.

The following error is in the out put window

error : Unable to open the Web site 'C:\Users\john.smith\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\xxx'. 'The Web site C:\Users\john.smith\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\xxx' does not exist.

Should this be the case?

Should the source sode need to refer to the websites directory?

Thanks!

In earler Visual Studio versions web sites have been split up into two directories. You need to copy the second directory as well, yes.
