How do I add an existing web project to a web site in Visual Web Developer Express (2010)?
I am new at asp.net development and have built a simple website in VWDE 2010. I have a co-worker who built a web project that I'd like to add to my website.
How is this done? I have added it, but I don't know how to get the master page hooked up so it has the same look and feel. Am I missing something here?
Basically, in the end, I want one person who handles the development of the web site, while another builds specialized apps that can be folded in to the website as they are completed.
Help! :) Thank you!

Right click on the solution in the Solution Explorer window and select Add -> Existing Project. Then, browse to where the other project file is located and click on it to add it.

Hi Dan,
I did manage to get that far. :)
How do I reference the site master file like I do in my other web site files?
MasterPageFile="~/Site.mas
Thank you!

Hi Masterpass,
I did what you suggested. Thank you. I get this error:
Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page.
I must be arranging this all wrong. I am going to ask a broader architecture type question and see if I am doing this right/wrong.
