My app is a gallery, it seems that every time a user creates a new album - which creates a new directory on the server, the AppDomain recycles. I believe that in IIS6 it used to check for changed web.config, changed files in bin etc, but now it seems in addition to check for any new folder anywhere. I don't really want to turn off this recycling completely; but would like to know: is there somewhere I can put my user data that is ignored by the checking or is there a way of turning off the checking on specific folders I did try putting all the user data under App_Data; but then I can't serve simple jpgs by embedding the path into the html as it gives a 403 forbidden error. Can someone either give me an easy answer or point me at an IIS7 architecture and best practices document to tell me how I should really structure things (things being dynamic user data)?
Take a look at this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...cles-in-iis-7-0-when-deleting-a-sub-directory I'm not sure if this will help you, but it may stimulate ideas for you.
