1. A method implemented at least in part by a computer, the method comprising:
- at a client, receiving input to access a server software project that is hosted on a server;
establishing a communication channel with a proxy component of the server, the proxy component operable to attempt to communicate with the client in conjunction with one or more pre-defined actions occurring on the server with respect to the server software project;
obtaining project data regarding the server software project from the proxy component, the project data indicating structure and code of the server software project;
on the client, creating a client software project corresponding to the server software project from the server project data, the created client software project differing from the server software project in at least one of different directories or different system variables;
configuring a development environment to access the client software project;
in response to a change to the server software project, the proxy component providing data indicating the change made to the server software project; and
receiving, from the proxy component, data indicating a change made to a structure of the document and, in response, configuring the development environment to recognize the change,wherein receiving input to access a server software project that is hosted on a server comprises receiving input from a control of an Internet browser hosted on the client, the Internet browser displaying a page that includes a document associated with the server software project, the code, when executed, performing an operation with respect to data of the document.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to remote project access. In aspects, project data for a project that is hosted on a server is provided to a client for use in a development environment of the client. A development environment may be instantiated and configured to allow a user to interact with the project as if the project existed solely on the client. Components on the client and server take care of transferring data and messages to and from the server to ensure that the user experience is seamless.

8. A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions, which when executed perform actions, comprising:
-
at a server, receiving a request to access a server software project; establishing a communication channel with a development controller of a client, the development controller of the client operable to create a client software project corresponding to the server software project and to configure a development environment to access the client software project; providing project data regarding the server software project to the development controller via the communication channel, the project data indicating structure and code of the server software project for use in creating the client software project and configuring the development environment, the created client software project differing from the server software project in at least one of different directories or different system variables; in response to a change to the server software project, providing data indicating the change made to the server software project; and sending, to the development controller, data indicating changes made to a structure of the document, the data for use by the development controller to update the development environment to recognize the change, wherein receiving a request to access a server software project comprises receiving a request to access a server software project that is associated with a document, the code of the server software project, when executed, performing an operation with respect to data of the document. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. In a computing environment, an apparatus, comprising:
-
a computer comprising a processing unit coupled to a memory, the memory storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed perform actions comprising; via a user interface, receiving input indicative of a server software project that is hosted on a server; hosting, by a development environment, a client software development project and providing access to the client software development project via the user interface, the development environment including a programming interface by which the development environment may be configured; establishing a communication channel with the server; obtaining project data regarding the server software project via the communication channel, the project data indicating a structure and code of the server software project; creating a client software project corresponding to the server software project, the created client software project differing from the server software project in at least one of different directories or different system variables; configuring the development environment via the programming interface to access the client software project; receiving input from a control of an Internet browser hosted on the development environment, the Internet browser displaying a page that includes a document associated with the server software project, the code, when executed, performing an operation with respect to data of the document; in response to a change to the server software project, the communication channel providing data indicating the change made to the server software project; receiving via the communication channel data indicative of a change made to a structure of the document and, in response, configuring the development environment to recognize the change. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
