How to put two versions of an app on a web server?

[Jim Corey]

I've got MyApp on a web server. Without creating a new project I'd like
to try out some modifications and put MyAppV2 as a different virtual
directory on the server.

This doesn't work for us, and I think I see why. 'MyApp' is hard-coded
throughout the application and in each case I would be creating
MyApp.Dll.
I'm sure others can explain the issues better than I.

Anyway, is there a simple solution for this?
Can I easily put a modified version of the same app on the same server?

TIA
Jim

That should work fine. As long as the second directory is a virtual
directory and you have all the files there, that works great.

And it does.
My bad.

I guess what I don't understand is how IIS finds the .dll for the
application.

Thanks,

it looks in the BIN subfolder for the virtual dir root
