Feed Description: Scott Hanselman's ComputerZen.com is a .NET/WebServices/XML Weblog. I offer details of obscurities (internals of ASP.NET, WebServices, XML, etc) and best practices from real world scenarios.
Apparently there's a number of places online that say this can't be done. We needed
to be able to add pages to an existing application that were basically "sub-applications,"
and they'd have their own /bin folder, but still be in the same VDIR and participate
in the same IIS Application.
You'll be all set. Slick. Of course, this is all ASP.NET 1.1, and everything changes
with 2.0 and the "/Code" directory, but it's still slick IMHO, and allows for a
level of flexibility that I haven't seen before. It also keeps your man/bin
nice and tidy if you've got folks "plugging in" other pages to your web app.
