application root versus virtual directory?

Hello,

Could somebody explain (or point me to a website that does) the difference
between a 'virtual directory' and an 'application root'? I don't really get
it at the moment. Thanks.

Virtual directories are mappings of URLs to physical directories for the web
server.

Application roots are independent of this and are the "root" location for a
specified application.

Collectively they make an "applicatio n" and share settings, as well as a
session object.

Hi, I am wondering that the Application Name in Virtual Directory is compulsory be non-empty field when configuring Virtual Directory for ASP.NET application? I realized some of my ASP.NET applications can run with empty Application Name, but some cannot. Is the Application Name must be same as the xxx.DLL file name in BIN folder and Inherits="xxx.Login" in aspx? (xxx is the name I am referring to)?
