I am looking to move our Umbraco intranet site, 7.1.8, into Visual Studio and wondered what was the best way to do this.
I have attempted some suggestions but every time i try a new solution i've encountered a different error.
Steps taken:
Create a new ASP.NET project (dot net framework 4.5 ) then select Empty.
Using NuGet install Umbraco 7.1.8 then build, customising the DB to the test DB i have set up.
Run through it and then copying all the folders and files from the HTML Umbraco folder to the new folder created by VS2017.
However when i do this i get an error, most of the time it's trying to find a custom dependency that it's saying it can't find.
So my first question is does anyone have a solid solution on how i can do this?
Secondly do i need to overwrite the web.config file with the original one or just certain parts of the file?
I am just in process or re running through it so i can provide the error message which hopefully will be more helpful.
In your web.config you can have numerous custom added depencies that are loaded, also version can differ of installed extra's (modules) that could give the error..
Usually the error report about the custom dependency is quite accurate in where the problem resides.

appreciate your advice.
I would overwrite the entire web.config except the updated database connection string and see if you still get errors.

What Amir said would be what I'd try aswell.
