Application level design question...

[sitexcite]

Guys,

Heres my current situation... I'm doing work for a client that has most
of his website in ASP (2.0). I recently created an ecomm store for him
in .NET 1.1 and it runs under the same virtual root (in a sub folder
but global.asa and asax files in same root folder).

Now I am creating another application for him under the same website.
It will also be done in .NET. Should I:

a. Create the app in the same project/solution as the ecomm store
(stick with the one base virtual root as before). Run as subfolder like
ecomm store, but not as new website.

b. Create the app in an entirely new project (therefore new virtual
root) and run it in a subfolder under the base website.

c. Something in between?

Thanx! First time I've faced this and I think I confused with all the
options! In the old ASP days, a website was a website, so admin pages,
store pages, et all went under one project, just separated by folders.
Sincerely,

J'son

Hmmmm... namespaces could help keep things separated as well. Its
slowly coming back..

J'son,
For solution b. Do you mean you put your entirely new project in a subfolder
under the base website physically? if so. since Web.config's conflict which
means some configurations can't appear in web.config located in subfolder,
and your web.config will be root and subfolder web.config at same time. then
I think you'll get problem in solution b.

Hopes help
