Creating Applications

To create an application, you designate a directory as the starting point (application root) for the application. You can then set properties for the application. Each application can have a friendly name; this name appears in the Internet Information Services snap-in and gives you a way to distinguish between applications. The application name is not used anywhere else.

You can remove a directory from the application boundaries. Requests to files in that directory and its subdirectories will no longer start the application. Removing a directory from an application boundary does not delete the directory from either your Web site or from your computer's hard disk.

To create an application
  1. In the Internet Information Services snap-in, select the directory that is the application starting point. You can designate the home directory of a Web site as an application starting point.
  2. Open the directory's property sheets, and then click the Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory tab.
  3. Click the Create button.
  4. In the Application name text box, type a name for your application.
  5. Note   If there is a Remove button instead of a Create button, an application has already been created.

 

To remove a directory from the application
  1. In the Internet Information Services snap-in, select the directory you want to remove.
  2. Open the directory's property sheets, and then click the Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory tab.
  3. Click the Remove button.
