To deploy a .net web application, one needs to go into IIS and make sure the
folder that contains the application is set to be an application folder.
Can anyone explain why we need to do this? Why can't IIS just assume that if
there are aspx pages, then it's a .net application?

What if I happen to have a folder with .aspx pages but I don't want them to
be accessed? I don't want IIS just making any folder an application just
because it happens to have a certain file type in there! This could be a
major security issue if IIS just starts assuming this.
Not to mention, it would mean it has to constantly monitor every folder to
see if it now happens to have some .aspx files in there so it can start
treating it as an application. And it would have to monitor for many other
file types too that could be part of a web application (.htm, .html, .asp,
etc).

Why would you upload aspx pages to a web server that you don't want
accessed? ;o)

I suppose it adds a layer of security.

That wouldn't be a big deal. That's how ASP worked.

Maybe it is not only a web server but has other functionality. Maybe I want
to store some data up there - who knows why?
Are you saying that if you had a .asp file anywhere, the folder it is in
would suddenly become a web application?
Is it really hard to mark a folder as a web application? It takes 2 seconds.
It's not like you are creating hundreds of new applications a day. I'm not
sure if that's really worth complaining about...

I'm saying IIS would go 'oh, it's an ASP file...I should execute that for
you' without me having to explicitely tell it to execute ASP files in a
particular directory.

seconds.
No, it takes about 15 mintues. (We're not anywhere near the server room and
don't have remote access at this time).

It's worth complaining about if there isn't a reason for it. If there's a
reason, then that's what I'm looking for. I haven't heard an explanation for
why we have to explicitly tell IIS that a folder with aspx files should be
executed...as why else would I be using aspx files?

new project with _1 following the project name. Deleting those files
corrected that problem.
