GetDirectory(String)

public override string GetFileHash(string virtualPath, IEnumerable virtualPathDependencies)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.String virtualPath

Path to file

System.Collections.IEnumerable virtualPathDependencies

Path to dependencies to virtualPath file

Returns
Type Description

string

Remarks

Because we have configuration in web.config for VirtualPathMappings we need to know when web.config has changed and reload mappings. By default virtualprovider sets only dependencies to file and controls on pages we have mapping to, it doesnt recognize web.config as a dependecy Thats why we adding HashCode for webconfig with return

Examples

Web.config.
