Applications and directories

[Bill in Kansas City]

Does a .NET application require a virtual directory, or is it possible
to create the application on a physical directory? Okay, okay, I know
you can create an application on any directory, but all the
documentation says virtual. So, what's the difference?

Thanks!

the term "Virtual Directory" is badly used by the ASP.Net community as it
really has no meaning. All you need for ASP.Net to work is an IIS
Application. The virtual directory is just a shortcut to browse to the
folder...you can have one without the other:
