I have the requirement to build a simplier admin interface for a website. I believe MVC 3 (I want to use .Net 4) would be a good fit, but the main site is using webforms and .Net 3.5. Is it possible to have a subfolder using MVC 3 (I would build a new solution) without affecting the main application? Is there any issues if it possible? So I would have http://www.mysite.com as asp.net 3.5 web forms and http://www.mysite.com/simplifiedadmin as the MVC 3 project. Any help, opinions, or advice is welcomed. Thanks.
Edit:
Just to be clear to future readers, when I mention the 3.5 framework it is in reference to what I am using as a target framework in VS. The application pool will references the 2.0 framework on IIS. Thanks Josh for pointing that out.
Firstly you seem to be confused about what a sub domain is. If your main site was on http://www.mysite.com and your administration site was on admin.mysite.com that would be a sub-domain, as it stands, from reading the question that isn’t a sub-domain, you want it in a separate directory.
It is possible if you have full control over IIS – you would create an application pool for the new application with the right version of the .NET framework and then, once you’ve create the new directory, right click it in IIS Manager and choose convert to application. Once that’s done right click the folder and choose Manage Web Site -> Advanced Settings and change the application pool.
