Thanks

I was wanting to have a virtual directory under the top level like /my_app/shared_vir_dir  to share some common files rather than deploying them multiple times. I currently do it outside of the control panel in IIS which is a pain.

If you have all 3 DNP components on the same server then you can just put code into application's "settingsControl" page. It'll do the trick.

C# examples:

or search Google for: create virtual directory in iis c#

If DNP components are on different servers, then you can "hack" DNP Portal pages to track what is happening behind the scenes when you create virtual directory ordinary way in "Web Sites". Then copy the piece of the code and put it into application's "settingsControl" page. I don't think it's hard, but it's just time consuming.

Or email DNP team and ask for some API call/trigger to create VirDir they use. I'm sure they will tell you, but maybe in the "next century".

Those the only ways I can think of.

After reading your post I think I could attach a Task Event Handler and create a vir dir like in your sample but test for some conditions some how.
