Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Boolean | true if the directory exists in the virtual file system; otherwise, false. |
FileExists(String)
Checks if this VPP has knowlegde in existance of file under virtualPath. If not passes the query to the next provider in chain (if any).

Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Boolean |
GetCacheDependency(String, IEnumerable, DateTime)
If the path is mapped it will add a cachedependency to the mapped file.
Declaration
public override CacheDependency GetCacheDependency(string virtualPath, IEnumerable virtualPathDependencies, DateTime utcStart)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.String | virtualPath | |
| System.Collections.IEnumerable | virtualPathDependencies | |
| System.DateTime | utcStart |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Web.Caching.CacheDependency |
GetDirectory(String)
Gets the virtualPath directory. If it doesn't exists under this providers responibillity it transfers the request to the next provider in chain.

Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Web.Hosting.VirtualDirectory | VirtualDirectory or null |
GetFile(String)

|---|---|---|
| System.String | virtualPath |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.Web.Hosting.VirtualFile | VirtualFile or null. |
GetFileHash(String, IEnumerable)
Adds web.config hash to virtualPath
Declaration
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 |
|---|---|
| System.String | 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.
