Let's say you install a new asp.net site in a folder called /myname/


Once you're in the Control Panel application area select that folder.


Click the button to create an application for that folder.


You're done. (It's really that simple.)

 

Thank you Sir Wisemx for your Advice.

Ihave some folders and files

ASP.NET applications are similar to the classic ASP applications however they now contain more features.

If for example in classic asp you were loosing session events it would often help to create an application.

With ASP.NET this can now be thought of, in it's most simple way, another website running from it's own folder.
Note that's not the true means, besides the new application containing directory and ASP.NET file(s), an ASP.NET Web Application may also contain configuration files (i.e. web.config), User Control files (.ascx ), and an application settings file (Global.asax), as well as code-behind, assembly, and class files that provide additional functionality to that application.

It is also worth mentioning the the root folder is already set up as an application folder so you do not have to necessarily set the subdirectories as an application folder. But like previously mentioned, if you want to start a whole new web application, you can do so inside a subdirectory. By setting that subdirectory as an application folder the web application for that subdirectory will look into that folder for certain application settings. As you can imagine this is extremely useful when hosting mutiple different web applications under one account.
