Visual Studio Virtual Folders

[Jason Hartsoe]

In Visual Studio I have a web project. Instead of retaining a local copy
of my image folder i'd like to access my image folder(located on another
server) with a virtual folder during debuging. Is there a way to do this so
that when I hit run, it sets up the virtual folder ready to use while
debugging?

Did that make any sense? lol

Thanks!

2 problems:

1. Virtual directories are maintained by IIS rather than VS
2. AFAIK IIS doesn't support virtual directories on network drives

If you want to use images from a network shared location, you need to run a
web server on that another location.

i thought that was the case...so I'll just shadow the folders,.
