Hi radu84,
a) It has 3 folders: Umbraco, Umbraco 4.0, Umbraco 5.0. Which of these ones should I open ? (I was running V3.03 in the binary format)
umbraco4.0 is current version that is currently in beta1. Not for use in production, as it is being under heavy dev.
umbraco5.0 is, well..., the next version...
Not sure about the umbraco folder, but think it has the source for the latest v3.x version, currently 3.0.6
b) When I do open up one of the above VS solutions I can see lots of subprojects. Where can I find the actual Web Application main project, which also contains the web.config file ?
umbraco.presentation project is the actual webproject.
c) How do I actually build and deploy it in comparison with the binary version ?
As you would with any other project I guess. Build and deploy the web application. Just make sure output folders are set correctly. All binaries go into /bin directory.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
/Dirk
