  WebDav IIS7, Visual Studio 2008 - Failed to start monitoring changes Reply Contact Hi All, I'm in the process of setting up WebDav on Windows 2008 with a Vista Ulimate client. All is working well except for one issue. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Team edition to open an asp.net web application via a webdav folder, this works completely I can access all the files, modify, delete and eveything except build the project. When I build I get the error Error    1    Failed to start monitoring changes to 'R:\'.        Where R:\ is my mapped webdav drive. I suspect that this may be permissions related but even with opening the share as an Administrator I get the same error... I'm kinda ruuning out of ideas on this one, has anyone else had this issue? Many thanks, Dale

  Re: WebDav IIS7, Visual Studio 2008 - Failed to start monitoring changes Reply Contact Hi, It is a permissions issue and one which is further complicated by the fact that you are using a mapped drive, which is only available to the user who mapped the drive in the first place - you should be using a UNC path instead, such as \\servername\share and then ensure that you fix the permissions issues. FIX: "Failed to start monitoring directory changes" error message when you browse to an ASP.NET page Regards,  Paul Lynch | www.iisadmin.co.uk
