System.String
The path to the virtual directory.
Return Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if the directory exists in the virtual file system; otherwise, false.
Override the DirectoryExists method to indicate to the compilation system that the resource represented by virtualDir exists in the virtual file system provided by this VirtualPathProvider instance.
If your custom VirtualPathProvider class does not support directories, the DirectoryExists method should return false.

If your virtual file system will contain themes for the Web site (by creating a virtual App_Themes directory), your custom VirtualPathProvider class must support directories. |
The following code example is an implementation of the DirectoryExists method in a custom VirtualPathProvider class. For the full code required to run the example, see the Example section of the VirtualPathProvider class overview topic.
Public Overrides Function DirectoryExists(ByVal virtualDir As String) As Boolean If (IsPathVirtual(virtualDir)) Then Dim dir As SampleVirtualDirectory dir = CType(GetDirectory(virtualDir), SampleVirtualDirectory) Return dir.exists Else Return Previous.DirectoryExists(virtualDir) End If End Function
