Is it possible in the folder structure of my website for me to create a "virtual folder" (a pseudo folder that links to another location)?
Yes, you can have virtual folder that is mapped to an existing folder on your site. Create a support ticket to request our system admins to set it up for you. Aristotle DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
I'm new at web development and maybe need further advice on this. I want to make a virtual directory called ig_common to link to a folder containing dependencies used by Infragistics ASP controls. So far I've published my ASP application into the root of my DiscountASP site and I think that process wipes out whatever is there. Won't publishing from Visual Studio likewise wipe out a root-level virtual folder? Should I maybe not publish into the root and instead separate applications into subfolders? Thanks for suggestions. I'm still learning the basics.
Yes,publishing an application using Visual Studio will wipe out everything within the target locations.So publishing it within a subdirectoy will not delete the files in the root.This is to avoid any conflicts. So using sub directories not only makes applications more manageable but also lets you upload multiple applications within thier respective subdirectories. Vikram DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
