Why I can not list the virtual directory?

[Guest]

I basically use the following code to display the directory and file names in
the WWWROOT, but can not show the virtual directory.
----
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath(x)
Dim di As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(path)
Listing.DataSource = di.GetFileSystemInfos()
Listing.DataBind()
----
Anyone can help me about how to list the virtual directory.

Thanks

David

Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("~") ' or "/" if you want the site root
Listing.DataSource = Directory.GetDirectories(path)
Listing.DataBind()

A Virtual Directory is a name not a physical location. The physical location
of your Virtual Directory can be anywhere on your hard drive. So the
physical location of your Virtual Directory isn't always
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\virtualdirectoryname

If you need to know the physical directories of all your IIS Virtual
Directories, look at the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\Virtual
Roots

In
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath(x),
the x is relative path root. It works for real directory path within wwwroot.

Thank you both of you.
I just created the virtual directory from IIS. If I set the property of
directory browsing, I can directly access to the directory virtually and get
anything I want from IE without my form based authentication. Now I try to
access it programatically without that setting and list the directory tree.
It works for others (not virtual one).
