Renaming folder => Application restart

[MisterG]

Hi,
In my code, I rename a folder and then the asp.net application restarts !
So i've lost my session variables ...
How is it possible for the application asp.net to restart when you rename a
folder of the website ???

Thank you.

Was the folder a virtual?

My understanding is that Folder name plays a role in the name of the
generated class.
So if you have an aspx in the folder then application must be recompiled.

Therefore Application restrated.

The application also restarts when there is no file in the folder.
