Unlike Visual Studio 6 or other COM based applications, VS.NET by default, does not allow opening the projects from the network. To open the projects from network paths, first they need to be added as trusted zones. To add network drives as trusted path in VS.NET, run the following commands.
Go to C:WINNTMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv1.0.3705 and one has to run the following commands
caspol -m -ag 1.2 -url file:///H:/* FullTrust
Run below command to remove the existing machine wide config info, if nereded
caspol -reset
Again run the command "caspol -m -ag 1.2 -url file:///H:/* FullTrust" to set the path
To verify run caspol -lg
