Hi, I have a website called www.websitename.com which is an ASP.NET
2.0 website.

I need to create another application (Which I want to be totally
seperate from the above website) but for political reasons must be
accessible via a subfolder (e.g. www.websitename.com/otherApplication/
)

Is it possible to run a totally seperate AP.NET 2.0 application from
within this subfolder?

Normally I would create a subdomain name but in this instance they
want the new application available from a subfolder off the main
website domain.

Thanks for any advice
Markus

Just create a virtual directory for your subfolder on the web server.

Hi, thanks for your help. Does this directory have to be inside the
folder of the parent website?
Thanks

No, it does not.

Assuming that www.websitename.com is located in c:\inetpub\wwwroot,
www.websitename.com/otherApplication/ could be located in g:\somedirectory.

Just point to the appropiate physical directory when you create the virtual directory.

Hi..

nah... its not necessary that the subfolder have to be in save
directory.. since you are creating a virtual directory it can be any
where...
if you are creating virtual directory from iis... expand your selected
site... right click on the site you want to add a virtual directory
and then select new virtual directory... follow the instruction...

Thanks

One thing to watch out for is whether you need to share state. A
virtual directory can either be marked as an application, or not. If
it is not marked, then it will be part of another application higher
up in the virtual path. If it is marked as an application then it has
it's own state, cache, etc.
