Lets say you have a project called "WebSite1". Here is what you would need to do:
1- Copy the project folder from your work PC to your Home PC, to the following location:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite1\
2- Open the file WebSite1.sln (solution file) and make sure you have the following:
URL:
http://localhost/WebSite1/
Physical Path: "..\..\..\..\..\..\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite1\"
VirtualPath = "/WebSite1"
3- Open IIS Manager. Expand the "Default Website" tree on the left menu, right click on the "WebSite1" folder and choose "Properties".
4- Click on the "Create" button under "Application Settings" and make sure the "Execute Permissions" says "Scripts and Executables".
5- Save all changes and run your project. You should be ok now.
That should do the trick for you. Let me know if you have any more trouble with it.
