Is there a way to add a virtual directory to Visual Studio Development Server?


I'm using the Visual Studio Development Server, with a specific port. Is there a way to add a virtual directory to it?

EDIT:

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I'd like to be able to add one or more virtual directories to arbitrary physical directories. For instance: http://localhost/c_drive/ would map to C:\, http://localhost:/d_drive/ would map to D:\, etc.


Solution

  • The Visual Studio Development Server is codenamed Cassini.

    From ASP.NET 2.0: A Getting Started Guide

    Cassini doesn't support virtual directories, security settings, 
    or any of IIS's other fancy features; it's just a very simple web server 
    that gives you the basics you need to get up and running.
    

    I am using the IIS which is included with Windows XP Pro. It only allows one website without tweaking but does have virtual directories. If you are on Vista, you can setup multiple sites in IIS from what I have heard.
