Application Restart on folder creation

Ray Booysen

In our application, we merge documents for our clients. The directory
structure is as follows:

webroot
->bin
->Documents
->Company
-> Company X
-> Company Y
If I create a new folder under Company:

webroot
->bin
->Documents
->Company
-> Company X
-> Company Y
-> New Company

The application immediately restarts. Nothing is in the Event log.
What am I missing?

Kind Regards

Hi Ray,

It sounds like your merges are touching the file system in a way (or
location) that affects the application's root. Is it possible to do your
merging in a separate application area?

Here's more on restarts:

"Applicatio n Restarts

Modifying the source code of your Web application will cause ASP.NET to
recompile source files into assemblies. When you modify the top-level items
in your application, all other assemblies in the application that reference
the top-level assemblies are recompiled as well.

In addition, modifying, adding, or deleting certain types of files within
the application's known folders will cause the application to restart. The
following actions will cause an application restart:

Adding, modifying, or deleting assemblies from the application's Bin folder.

Adding, modifying, or deleting localization resources from the
App_GlobalResou rces or App_LocalResour ces folders.

Adding, modifying, or deleting the application's Global.asax file.

Adding, modifying, or deleting source code files in the App_Code directory.

Adding, modifying, or deleting Profile configuration.

Adding, modifying, or deleting Web service references in the
App_WebReferenc es directory.

Adding, modifying, or deleting the application's Web.config file.

When an application restart is required, ASP.NET will serve all pending
requests from the existing application domain and the old assemblies before
restarting the application domain and loading the new assemblies."

Are you sure 'Company' is not a web application in IIS?

I would recommend keeping all your files outside the virtual directory
anyway. It would eliminate this problem, and eliminate the possibility that
someone simply browses to the right folder,e tc.

Hi Ken. I'll have a look at this.

I can't unfortunately without a big rewrite of the file handling. I
wrote a user control that allows clients to view their own files. And
the control exposes the URLs of the files to allow downloading. This
would obviously need a change.

Its strange as I use the .NET Framework to create the folders. Anyway,
I'll test more and let the newsgroup know of any findings I have.

Cheers

Ok, we are all aware of the situation where modifying the folder structure (adding files, folders, deleting files, etc) will result in ASP.NET triggering a recompilation/restart of the application. In a nutshell, I understand how this can be considered desireable by some, but I am not one of those people. My situation is that we have a root site (hosted @ http://www.mydomain.com) in the root application folder '/'.
