Hi Nalaka,
Thanks for your followup.
So you current requirement is buiding a test sytem for running ASP.NET web
applications under IIS default site(root), and could easily swtich the site
root application between many existing application folders, yes?
If you need to use the IIS to host the ASP.NET application for testing, I'm
afraid the only means I've considered is make a simple utility which can
programmaticall y change the IIS default site's home directory (through ADSI
object model), so that when you want to configure a certain sub folder as
the root application, just change the IIS's site's home directory to that
folder's physical path.
Also, I'm not sure whether you've ever use the .NET managed asp;.net
webserver cassini simple server:
http://www.asp.net/Projects/Cassini/...ndex=0&tabid=1
this is a purely .net based simple webserver which can host asp.net web
application without IIS. If your test scenario is not very complex( doesn't
require IIS's powerful HTTP implementation or authentication support), you
can consider use the Cassini server to test your web application, it can
start listening on a specific local port and specify a certain physical
path as the web application root.
Hope helps. Thanks,
Steven Cheng

| Hi Steven,
|
| What I have is a test system of various environments as subwebs of root.
| I need the ability to switch between these frequently, so, user does not
| know the difference.
|
| Plus... it is easier to treat all webs as subwebs...
| If not, root can see all the subweb folders and is confucing when coping
| files up and down.
|
| We just want one mechanism to manage code too......
|
| So, if there is a configuration file to redeirect to a given subweb (when
| calling root), would be the best
|
| I am on a asp 2.0 site.
|
|
| Thanks
