Add Location Dialog Box

  • Article

The Add Location dialog box enables you to add a new location configuration setting to your Web site. Configuration settings can be applied to specific resources by using a location element with an appropriate path attribute. The path attribute can be used to identify a specific file or child directory to which unique configuration settings apply.

Note

The MMC snap-in for ASP.NET works with IIS 6.0 or earlier. The IIS 7.0 administration tool includes the functionality of the ASP.NET MMC tool. For more information, see ASP.NET and IIS Configuration.

The Add Location dialog box appears when you click the Add button, which is on the Locations tab in the ASP.NET Configuration Settings dialog box.
