How to detect if a folder is a virtual directory

[jasonsalas]

Does anyone have a clue how to write an ASP script to test if a certain folder is a virtual directory? Thanks!

use:

Path = Server.MapPath (Location)

The MapPath function can take any path(as long as it exists) and give you the actual HD location.

For example, if I wanted to find out where my root web folder was I would use:

Path = Server.MapPath ("/&quot

Path now equals C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT

Thanks...but my question was whether to test if a directory on a server is a virtual directory in IIS, or just a plain folder that got created. Got any ideas?

Exactly my point.. for instance.. you want to find out if

http://....com/folder

is a virtual or real folder.. use the map path..

if its real.. the path should be something like:

C:\INETPUB\

http://WWWROOT\FOLDER

if its a virutal folder.. it would be something like:

D:\SOMESTUFF\CONTENT\FOLDER

This is rather a bad example for lack of a better way to visualize the concept.

Hope this cleared it up for you
