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).

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?
